Question

I have quite a complex model which has many attached columns – around 40, and so I have split them up into multiple tables:

business
business_details

I was hoping I won’t have to create a BusinessDetails model and use relationship Business has_one BusinessDetails.

How do I connect business to business_details and access both through the model Business?

Answer 1

Are you looking for something like this?

class BusinessDetails < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :business
end

class Business < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :business_details

  delegate :bd_field1, :bd_field2, :to => :business_details, :allow_nil => true
end
