Question

I am trying to use migrations to manage my SQL Server views. I found the rails_sql_views extension and it looks like exactly what I need, but I’m getting an error when running the migration that I cant figure out. Here is the error:

rake aborted!
An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:
uninitialized constant CreateFunds 

Here is my migration:

class CreateFundView < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    create_view :v_funds, "SELECT * from funds"
  end

  def down
    drop_view :v_funds
  end
end

I’m using Rails 3.1.1.
Can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

I got it working, I upgraded the rails_sql_views gem to one that was Rails 3.1.1 compatible.
(at least I think that’s what fixed it!). Here is a link to the gem that is working:

Here is a working migration:

class CreateFundView < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
create_view :funds,
            "SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT
              FUND.FUND_ID AS [fund_id],
              FUND.DESCRIPTION AS [fund_description],
              FUND_FUND_CATEGORY.LONGDESCRIPTION AS [fund_category],
              FUND.NOTES AS [fund_notes]
              FROM
                RE7.dbo.FUND AS FUND LEFT OUTER JOIN
                RE7.dbo.TABLEENTRIES AS FUND_FUND_CATEGORY ON FUND.FUND_CATEGORY = FUND_FUND_CATEGORY.TABLEENTRIESID
              WHERE     (FUND.FUNDTYPE = 23702)
              ORDER BY [fund_description]"
  end

  def down
    drop_view :funds
  end
end
