It would all depend on the models you’re using.
That db schema is not technically Rails friendly in that the table
names should be user_infos and contact_infos resulting in models named
UserInfo and ContactInfo
Then you could use the following:

model ContactInfo
has_one :user_info
#or has_many :user_infos
end

model UserInfo
belongs_to :contact_info
end

and then…

contact_info = ContactInfo.new 25
user_info = contact_info.user_info

Rails deals with all the sql in the background :slight_smile:

@contactinfo= Contactinfo.find(:all, :joins => “contactinfos inner join
userinfos as u on contactinfos.contact_id=u.id”, :conditions =>
[“contactinfos.contact_id =?”, 25])

ContactInfo.find(:all, :join => user_info)

You can use :select option in the same query…

Don’t think of merging them into one result set, think of them as two
seperate sets of data (or models) that are related.
That’s the way Rails treats the data and it works very well.

I understand that you’re new to Rails but take some time to get to
understand Rails way of doing things and your life will be much
easier.

why don’t you use the build options in the framework?
specify the joins / relations in the model.
Then do
@user = User.find(params[:id]) (controller)

View:
<=% @user.contactinfo.telephone %>

or
<% for user in @users do |t| %>
<%= t.contactinfo.telefone %>
<%= t.contactinfo.fax %>

If you cant to do other types of joins, use the include option in the
controller.
