Question

Currently I have an address column that is an embedded document in my users table. The address column contains the _id for related rows in the address table. Each user can have many addresses so there can be multiple embedded documents in the user address column if that user had more than one address.

How do I delete all address embedded documents for a specific address id? In my case, when a user deletes an address, I want to delete that specific address from ALL of the address embedded documents in the users table.

Is this possible in the rails console?

Thanks

You can do :

User.where('addresses.id' => address.id).each do |u|
  u.addresses.where(:id => address.id).delete
  u.save
end
