m running Rails 3.0.7, Ruby 1.9.2, and mySQL (local and remote). I have a query which is pulling in records that I don’t understand. The purpose of the query is to total points that users receive from customer jobs they complete.
Models: user, customer, activity
Two weird things seem to happen:
(1) Activity records are pulling in which don’t belong to the user, in fact, when I look at my DB I’m not sure the Activity records even exist (do a sort by user_id in Activity, then I look at the dates when I don’t find match by user_id)
(2) when I look at my Rails server records, it seems to cycle through all of the users instead of just the one I’m looking for which would make it a resource hog even if the calculation was correct.
I have tried the query two ways, but both yield the same [wrong] results. Please help!
in the Activity model, I have this method:
def self.calculate_user_job_points(customer, user_id)
Activity.sum(:amount , :conditions => [ "job_id IN (?) and user_id =?", customer.jobs, user_id ])
end
I’ve also tried the query this way and it yields the same results:
Activity.where('job_id =? and user_id =?', customer.jobs, user_id).sum("amount")
When I look in my Rails server command window, it shows that instead of looking for one user, it looks like it is repeating the query for each user (although the results I receive is not all Activity records, and differs from user to user)
I call it like so:
<%= Activity.get_user_flock_rank(@customer, current_user.id) %>
Both the customer and user seem to pass ok as parameters. How do I fix this? Do I need to somehow break this down into two queries? I noticed in the Rails guide for querying, they all seem to be simpler queries for the calculations. Thank you for any help you can provide.
