Sequel Newbie question

Ruby
1

Hello Folks, I am trying out sequel and have a simple question.

Here is my sample:
DB = Sequel.connect(‘mysql://blah:blah@localhost:3306/thyu’)

news_stories = DB[:feed_items].filter({:content_grabbed => ‘0’} &
(:url.like(/abcd.com/)))

puts news_stories.count
for story in news_stories

logic to grab content

 if (content.length > 0)
     contentDoc = Hpricot(content).to_plain_text
     File.open("#{article_id}.txt", 'w') {|f| f.write(contentDoc) }
     puts article_id
     story.update(:content_grabbed => '1') # does seem to update ..

WHY?

     # Also how do I save another data to ANother table?
     # I get an sql error.
     puts "Did it update?"
     exit
 end

end

I am sure I am missing something basic here…Can u help pls?

Thanks!

story is a Hash, not a Sequel::Model. You are calling Hash#update,
which updates the Hash, but does not change the database. What you want
to do is:

Filter to just the record, then update

DB[:feed_items].filter(:id=>story[:id]).update(:content_grabbed =>
‘1’)

Or you could just use a model, which will do basically the same thing.

     # Also how do I save another data to ANother table?

Just change the table you are using, and assuming the record would be
new in that table:

DB[:feed_items2].insert(story)

     # I get an sql error.

You need to post the error you are getting with a traceback in order to
provide adequate support.

     puts "Did it update?"
     exit
 end

end
