Hi, I did the following to compare two tables, products and orders using
LEFT OUTER JOIN. It came out fine.
However, I am not sure how to do the similar join if the products are an
array. For example, there is another table called brands having the
relationships - brand has_many:products and products belongs_to:brand.
@brands = brand.find(params[:id])picks up particular brand and all the
products from that brand.
On the view, I would like to display list of products from one brand and
do LEFT OUTER JOIN with orders table. I would truly appreciate the
advise on how to modify the following to accomplish this task or at
least guide me to the right direction.
Table products
id
name
brand_id
Table orders
id
product_id
customer_name
product has_many: orders
order belongs_to: product
Def list
@products = Product.find(:all)
@orders = Order.find(:all)
@compares = Product.connection.select_all(“SELECT products.id AS
prod,products.name AS name, orders.product_id AS ord FROM
products LEFT OUTER JOIN orders ON products.id = orders.product_id”)
end
