Hi, I just started using rails and is having a simple relationship  
problem. I would be very grateful anyone can help me.

I created a has many relationship between sessions and work out with  
sessions having many workouts. So I though that when I tried doing  
\<% for session in @sessions %\>  
\<% for workout in session.workouts%\>

  
\<%=h workout.description%\>  
\<%=h workout.sets%\>  
\<%=h workout.reps%\>  
  
\<% end %\>  
\<% end %\>

I thought it would show all the workout that has a session id  
corresponding to that session. In the database under workout that is a  
session\_id column. Do I have to do anything with that? Should I create a  
workout\_id column under session? Any help woudl be apperciated thanks.

hello Sir Wu :

in WORKOUTS table you should put session\_id column.

In class Session \< ActiveRecord put :  
has\_many :workouts

In class Workout \< ActiveRecord put:  
belongs\_to :session

It should work in this case.

Beware of your session model potentially conflicting with the built-in  
session hash (where session data may be stored). You might consider  
changing the name of your model if you run into problems - or before  
you run into them. 🙂
