hey (first post jitters..) Im a baby in rails web development-please be obvious
How would I get an array as a column set of data? Could I just generate the table with:
title:string description:text .... list:array
Is array there valid?
If its not possible is there a way to contain a list of data that can be added to by the app.
Thanks plenty
If I understand correctly you want to put the contents of an entire array into a single record in a table. Whilst this is possible by encoding the contents into a string this is often not the best solution to the underlying problem. Give us some more details of what you are trying to achieve, there may be a better way, using has_many and belongs_to relationships for example. It might be worth your while first looking at the rails guides on ActiveRecord relationships at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ (and also Getting Started if you have not already seen that one). These might give some ideas on alternative solutions.

No, not valid; you want an association. Read here:
