Mysql error unknown column 'columns.user_id'

Had this error when trying to add comments to another user’s photo.

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in User photosController#show
Mysql::Error: Unknown column ‘comments.user_id’ in ‘on clause’: SELECT
photos.id AS t0_r0, photos.user_id AS t0_r1, photos.title AS
t0_r2, photos.body AS t0_r3, photos.created_at AS t0…

I did create a user_id column in the comments as such:

class CreateComments < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :comments do |t|
t.column :photo_id, :integer
t.column :user_id, :integer
t.column :guest_name, :string
t.column :guest_email, :string
t.column :guest_url, :string
t.column :body, :text
t.column :created_at, :datetime
end
add_index :comments, :photo_id
end

def self.down
drop_table :comments
end
end

Can anyone tell me what went wrong and how to solve?

Can you paste the lines where that error is raised?

Hi Ken!

If I understand very well your problem! the database is not
recognizing this collumm. By want i saw the collum was created . but
we would have to analize the SQL command in complete. Just a shot!
Maybe in your sql command you are join two tables or more and if is
true you most to specify the origin of the field. Like this:

SELECT T01.FIELD01 , T02.FIELD01
FROM TABLE01 T01 , TABLE02 T02
WHERE T01.FIELD01 = T02.FIELD01

I hope i helped you !

Post the sql command in complete.
