using mongodb with ActiveRecord or other in Ruby on Rails

+1 vote
386 views

We recently looked at mongoDB a bit. I was discussing using mongoDB with active record but was told that maybe there are other or better options. Can someone comment on that ?

Also, someone suggested storing a ruby array directly inside of a record where I would have opted for the array to be a separate set of records in active record using has_many and belongs_to .. It seemed to me that how I search on those child records would be a big factor but I soon realized I need to find out what are the options. Do people store arrays and hashes directly in mongo DB fields or is that not the best way to go ?

Require or include page in ruby on rails

I want to make just simple back End to my first Ruby application, so I want to make header and include it to all of the pages in this back end

So how I can make require or include to simple Html page in ruby (this page just I want to set some links in it)

in Php we just make page and require or include it by
require("my_page_name.php")
or
include("my_page_name.php")

Is find() a class method or instance method in Ruby on Rails?

In the following code - 

 require 'active_record'

 class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
 end

 order = Order.find(1)
 ...

As per http://api.rubyonrails.org/ find() is an instance public method. So why can we call Order.find(1) here? Shouldn't it be Order.new.find(1)?
