Rails pagination problem

I am having this problem with pagination query in my controller class.
I am using SQL server and following code to create pagination fails,
complains about column name ‘program_name’ (which is valid
column/attribute of program)

The error message is:

DBI::DatabaseError: S0022 (207) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
Driver][SQL Server]Invalid column name ‘program_name’.: SELECT * FROM
(SELECT TOP 3 * FROM (…rest of query deleted…

query_term = ‘%tiger%’
@program_pages, @programs = paginate :programs, :conditions =>
[“program_name like ?”, query_term], :per_page => 5, :include =>
[:status], :order => ‘program_name’

If I remove “:include => [:status]” from the paginate crestion code,
it works fine. So the following works:

@program_pages, @programs = paginate :programs, :conditions =>
[“program_name like ?”, query_term], :per_page => 5, :order =>
‘program_name’

I have to include status Active Record class because :order clause is
dynamic and may be by status name which in status model (program model
belongs_to status)

The :include works fine on Program.find(…) in console as below:

p = Program.find(:all, :include => [:status], :order =>
‘program_name’ ).each { |prog| puts prog.status_code,
prog.status.Status}

Is this a sql server issue or I am not doing something correctly.

Navjeet,

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

I have encountered the same issue and was wondering what steps you took
to solve it if any.

Thanks,

Steve
