I'm sorta stuck as to what to do. I'm porting a legacy database where the primary key were not auto incrementing fields.
An example
create_table: components do |t| t.integer :componentid ... end
and
create_table: versions do |t| t.integer :versionid t.integer :componentid ... end
The foreign key for table versions is componentid from table components. In MySQL, the primary key would be 'id', an auto incrementing field. I would have liked to make componentid in components my primary key but seems rails does not like non-auto incrementing primary keys...so the question becomes how do I create the key relationship? I would like to be make searches along the lines of version=components.versions.versionid or some such. Am I making any sense?
Thanks in advance, Hubert
