Welcome

Welcome to this forum on the Everyday Active Record series! If you have any comments, problems, opinions or suggestions about this series, I encourage you to create a new topic. I’m also interested in hearing requests for future episodes that you think will fit well in this series.

I look forward to reading your posts, and thank you for watching my series on Everyday Active Record.

What I would love to see and pay $10.00 for gladly is how to be the power user of Rails Console. If you can produce a couple of in depth screen-casts on that topic, it would be great.
Also, I had asked you in your free screen-casts how do you instantly see the SQL being produced for each Active Record Query as you show in your screen cast. An answer would be greatly appreciated.

how do you instantly see the SQL being produced for each Active Record Query as you show in your screen cast.

The script/server process will output any log messages generated by your application or script/console, so if you are running your Rails application via that command, just keep an eye on its output. Alternatively, you may run tail -f log/development.log (assuming you are running in development mode) to view the log file as it updates.

Hi Ryan, I’m a huge fan of your work! It’s helped me immensely! Please keep it up. I’m very excited to see your next screen cast on optimization. It is very helpful how you discuss use of models.

I would love to see more on :join, :from , sub-selects or nested SQL. Maybe something on dbconsole, and creating aggregates with data from one and many models. Also your thoughts on injecting SQL, choice of database server, and stored procedures.

Thanks!!
