Amended: Rails console, saving objects

I was reading a book and following the instructions in it.

class Story < ActiveRecord::Base; end

=> nil

story = Story.new

=> #<Story id: nil, name: nil, url: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at:

story.class

=> Story(id: integer, name: string, link: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime)

I do not remember me asking for id, name, link or url, created_at and updated_at. Is there a way to check if I asked?

I do know if I typed craeted_at instead of created_at or updetad_at instead of updated_at. Is there a way to check whether I typed it right or wrong?

From the Rails console, I had to create a story class, one instance of it and save the object, but I created two, so I got a 2 output for a story.id input. How do I remove the second object from the database?

I was reading a book and following the instructions in it.

>> class Story < ActiveRecord::Base; end => nil >> story = Story.new

=> #<Story id: nil, name: nil, url: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: >>> story.class

=> Story(id: integer, name: string, link: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime)

I do not remember me asking for id, name, link or url, created_at and updated_at. Is there a way to check if I asked?

Well Rails didn't make it up for you. The book probably had you create a migration with those columns.
