Help with serialize

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m having problems with serialize helper method. The data serialization
is
OK, the problem is when I retrieve the object from database later the
serialized attribute is not loaded (=nil). I’m trying to implement the
Serialized LOB design pattern, do you think there is a better way to do
it?
What I’m trying to serialize/deserialize is an array of OpenStruct.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Gustavo Honorato

What’s the type of the column that the serialized data is being
serialized into? Is it big enough?

It is a text column in MySQL. I’ve checked the database and all data is
there.

Serialization is OK. I think the problem is in deserialization.
