Set_table_name not working in 2.3.5

Rails
1

I am new to rails and developed a simple task in an app that runs
every while using crontab. Under previous versions of rails it worked
fine. But, I have upgraded the server, installed rails 2.3.5 as per
rubygems latest and it now breaks the task.

When I run the task I get this error:

Mysql::Error: Table ‘cnms.odma_units’ doesn’t exist: SELECT * FROM
odma_units ORDER BY device_id

The Controller has always had and still has the following item set:

ActiveRecord::Base.set_table_name “odma_unit”
ActiveRecord::Base.set_primary_key “device_id”

It also needs this as the type table is used by the present database,
not quiet a legacy, but lets call it one for ease of understanding:
ActiveRecord::Base.set_inheritance_column :category

The model has this in it which also worked:
establish_connection :cnms

Then obviously the config/database.yml file has this:

cnms:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: cnms
pool: 5
username: myuser
password: mypass
host: thehostaddress
port: 3306
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

It now doesnt seem to allow single table usage. Does anyone know why
as I cant seem to find an answer in google, etc, etc, etc.

Thanks

That’s weird - Why are you not calling set_table_name /
set_primary_key on some subclass of ActiveRecord::Base ?

Hi Fred,

I dont understand what you mean? Can you elaborate? I had it working
before under the controller and model and it worked. Has something
changed that I should know about?

Thanks

The normal way of doing this is

class OdmaUnit < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name “odma_unit”
set_primary_key “device_id”
end

I found the problem. All items concerned should be in the model and not
the controller. You can read about it on my blog if you need help with
multiple databases and the like.

Thanks Fred for the help.
