I cannot seem to get through associations working properly on tables
that have non standard primary keys.
class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
set_primary_key “address_id”
has_many :investor_addresses
has_many :investors, :through => :investor_addresses, :source =>
:investor
end
class Investor < ActiveRecord::Base
set_primary_key “pid”
has_many :investor_addresses
has_many :addresses, :through => :investor_addresses, :source =>
:address
end
class InvestorAddress < ActiveRecord::Base
set_primary_key “investor_address_id”
belongs_to :investor, :foreign_key => “pid”
belongs_to :address, :foreign_key => “address_id”
end
The Investors table has primary key pid.
The Addresses table has primary key address_id.
The investor_addresses table has a primary key investor_address and
also columns pid and address_id.
To me this should work but when I do:
i = Investor.find(6493)
i.addresses
Active record seems to think the investor_addresses table has a column
called investor_id. Why wont it use pid?
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PGError: ERROR: column
investor_addresses.investor_id does not exist
: SELECT addresses.* FROM addresses INNER JOIN investor_addresses ON
addresses.address_id = investor_addresses.address_id WHERE
(investor_addresses.investor_id = 6493)
