Create! Syntax

Hey All,

Two questions.

Firstly, what is the difference between create and create!

I see that create is document in the api

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M002269

What is the difference between the two of these functions and where is the create! function defined.

Also,

What are the differences between these two calls?

a) SomeModel.create!{ :property_a => ‘value’, :property_b => ‘value 2’ } b) SomeModel.create!({ :property_a => ‘value’, :property_b => ‘value 2’ })

Thanks a lot for the help! -Jim

create! is here:

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Validations/ClassMethods.html

I find http://railsapi.com to be the best tool for browsing the Rails documentation.
