Question

I have a table that has a column of org_import_paths_id

That id has the foriegn key of another table org_import_paths. This table has the another column of filename.

I want to show the filename of this table from that table in ruby on rails. I want to display the
datas to the grid. Please suggest me to do the things.

Answer 1

“.. I have a table that has a column.. “ Lets assume that the Model name is FirstTable and the table name is first_tables. So the Model will be

class FirstTable < AR::Base
    belongs_to :org_import_paths, :foreign_key => 'org_import_paths_id'
end

Now if you have a object of FirstTable like

ft = FirstTable.first

You can get the value like

ft.org_import_paths.filename

Would you please clarify the line “I want to display the datas to the grid”.
