Eager loading problem. Help greately appreciated

Rails
1

Each Timesheet has an employee. An employee has a division and a
location.
I want to find all the timesheets with a status of 2. I then iterate
over the timesheet collection and print the timesheet name, employee
name, employee divison name, and employee location name. Like so:

for t in
Timesheet.find(:all,:conditions=>“status=2”,:include=>:employee)
puts timesheet.date
puts timesheet.employee.name
puts timesheet.employee.division.name
puts timesheet.employee.location.name
end

Adding the “:include=>:employee” to the find preloads all the employees
BUT it does not preload the division and location. This query returns
over 1000 timesheets, so it takes a long time to load each division +
location.

Any ideas how to preload the Division and Location??

Any help is really appreciated as I’m really stuck,

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Try Edge Rails and the patch at
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3913. If that doesn’t work you’ll
probably need to use find_by_sql to get the records manually and
modify your code so it is like:

puts timesheet.date
puts timesheet.employee_name
puts timesheet.employee_division_name
puts timesheet.employee_location_name
