What is the difference between

parent.children << child.new

and

parent.children.build(params[:child])

In the first one, the child is saved right away. In the second, the child is not saved until the parent is saved

Thanks Sharagoz. I got some idea about this.

Actually if the parent is not persisted, the shovel operator does not save data on db.
