Hi to you!

I’m writing my first webapp with ruby on rails. And I like it so far.

My problem is:  
I have a form and if I create a db-record, that works fine.  
But I want to create 2 records on 2 different tables (with one form).

Example (a phone book app):  
I have a table person and a table place.

On the form “new person” I have the fields  
Name, first name… and the field place.  
Now I want to insert the Name, first name… on the table person  
and insert the new place on the table place.

Questions:  
Is that possible?  
How should the form look like?  
How can I handle this in the controller?

Thank you for your help!

Sorry!

Development and Deployment looked very simular 🙂
