Hi there,
I’m having difficulty inserting an array into a postgres db. I’m scoured
the internet for help, tried many solutions, but am still having
trouble.
I’m using Rails 4.1.6
I have a pg database with the following migration:
add_column :dock_slip, :shore_power, :text, array:true, default: []
which appears in my schema like:
t.text "shore_power", default:
[],
array: true
I am using a bootstrap multiselect from a form to produce array data. I
get
the param data in the format:
“shore_power”=>[“30 amp”, “50 amp”, “100 amp”]
In my model, I’m updating a bunch of attributes, including the above
(missing some stuff…but like this). And saving of course:
slip.attributes = {shore_power: slip_data[‘shore_power’]}
slip.save
This produces the following SQL statement - which seems incorrect to me.
The data appears to be in the correct array format originally though:
SQL (0.5ms) UPDATE “dock_slips” SET “shore_power” = $1 WHERE
“dock_slips”
.“id” = 1 [[“shore_power”, “—\n- 30 amp\n- 50 amp\n- 100 amp\n”]]
Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
