Hi,

When I added this association…

class User \< ActiveRecord::Base  
has\_one :notify  
end

…and tried then to update column in User table it will call queries  
for notify table automatic?

## Output

User Columns (0.041488) SHOW FIELDS FROM `users`  
User Load (0.001544) SELECT \* FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`nickname`  
= ‘jamal’) LIMIT 1  
SQL (0.000373) BEGIN  
SQL (0.001843) SHOW TABLES  
User::Notify Load (0.001113) SELECT \* FROM `user_notifies` WHERE  
(user\_notifies.user\_id = 1) LIMIT 1  
User::Notify Load (0.001009) SELECT \* FROM `user_notifies` WHERE  
(user\_notifies.user\_id = 1) LIMIT 1  
User::Notify Load (0.000996) SELECT \* FROM `user_notifies` WHERE  
(user\_notifies.user\_id = 1) LIMIT 1  
User::Notify Load (0.000862) SELECT \* FROM `user_notifies` WHERE  
(user\_notifies.user\_id = 1) LIMIT 1  
User::Notify Load (0.000849) SELECT \* FROM `user_notifies` WHERE  
(user\_notifies.user\_id = 1) LIMIT 1  
User::Notify Load (0.000799) SELECT \* FROM `user_notifies` WHERE  
(user\_notifies.user\_id = 1) LIMIT 1  
User Update (0.000362) UPDATE `users` SET `created_at` = ‘2007-11-17  
19:02:16’, `times_logged_in` = 0, `hashed_password` =  
‘e0195770807aa8c82b0b128d9c0423b5ad035172’, `logged_at` = ‘2007-11-25  
14:58:56’, `nickname` = ‘Jamal’, `email` = ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’ WHERE `id` =  
1  
User::Notify Load (0.000768) SELECT \* FROM `user_notifies` WHERE  
(user\_notifies.user\_id = 1) LIMIT 1  
User::Notify Load (0.000781) SELECT \* FROM `user_notifies` WHERE  
(user\_notifies.user\_id = 1) LIMIT 1

* * *

This is how I updated the column.

> > user = User.find\_by\_nickname ‘jamal’  
> > =\> #\<User id: 1, email: “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”, nickname: “Jamal”,

You could try notification instead of notify.
