Hi, i'm new at ruby on rails and i have this little problem. I have a
table named "translations". Translations has "id", "message" and
"description" as attributes. When i try to get information from
"translations" i write
aux1 = Translation.find_by_id(1).description
and no problem with that, but when i write this
aux2= Translation.find_by_id(1).message
it return something like #Message:0x4851f70
i've tried with Translation.find_by_id(1)."message" or
Translation.find_by_id(1).'message' but nothing works. Any idea how
should i rescue the value??. I can't rename the attribute on data
base

Did you design the model? When you see something like Message:0x4851f70,
that's usually an instance of a class. Are you using aggregate objects
for that model?

Hi, i'm working with an existing model. There's another table named
"messages" and it's related with translations. Translations
belongs_to :message and message has_many :translations. Translation
has a "message_id" attribute. Maybe there's a name confusion there,
between the table and the atribute, but with "description" i have no
problem.

definitely the problem is with the name, because if i put something
like
aux2= Translation.find_by_id(1).message.name
where "name" is attribute of "messages", there's no problem. There's a
confusion between the name of the table and the name of the attributes
from Translation table.
