Relationships in Rails

Rails
1

I have 2 tables:

people (id, name)
children (id, parents_id, child_id)

parents_id = people.id and child_id = people_id also

So how I make a relationships in Rails?

And how can all search:

Children.find(:all, :conditions => ["parents.name LIKE ‘Clin%’ ??? Or
how???

And what if I want to add new child. Parents name is in people table,
but childs not, so how I do?

Sounds like a many to many relationship, in which case you need to
declare has_and_belongs_to_many on both people and children. The
relationship then works through a join table. If you did this, you’d
need to re think your model a little and your find and add problems
would be different.

I think that the best solution to your problem is to use acts_as_tree
