Adding eager loading to custom has_many relationships - sql

Groups and users have has_many through relationships on the table user_roles, which specifies what role users have in each group (pending, member, admin, etc). For a given group, how might I return all users matching a particular role in that group such that the code is DRY and eager loads the appropriate associations?
class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :user_roles, dependent: :destroy
has_many :users, through: :user_roles
def members(role)
self.users.includes(:user_roles).where("user_role.role = ?", role)
# Returns following error message:
# PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "user_role"
end

Your table name probably 'user_roles' and not 'user_role'. Change the name of table in your where clause to 'user_roles'.
def members(role)
self.users.includes(:user_roles).where("user_roles.role = ?", role)
end

Ruby on Rails Active Records issue

The models in question are:
User Followed
The "followeds" schema(or table) has "user_id" that is a reference to "users" table
And it has "followed_id" that is an integer.
What I want to achieve:
Inside my controller I want to select all the users that have an id corresponding to followed_id
Something like
def index
#users = User.all.where(something like => "user.id: followeds.followed_id")
end
Basically comparing the id for users table (user.id) to followeds.followed_id integers and if they match extract the record of the user.
In your User model you should have:
# No idea what's the nature of the relationship between your models, but
# pick one of these two
has_many :followeds, foreign_key: :followed_id
has_one :followed, foreign_key: :followed_id
then in your query call:
User.joins(:followeds) # or :followed if apply

Count records which has no association or association of association meets condition

Assume we have three classes:
class Person
belongs_to :group
end
class Group
has_many :people
has_many :tags
end
class Tag
belongs_to :group
end
It is possible, that Person may have group_id = NULL.
What I need, is to COUNT Person records which has group_id = NULL or his Group doesn't have any Tag record with attribute status IN ('active', 'finished')
One more thing, it has to be as fast as possible. We are querying over milions of records.
Ideas? Thanks.

Sort records based on number of rows in another table - Rails

So I have a users table and in my relationship, I have defined that a user has many submissions and submissions belong to a user. I want to sort the users table based on how many submissions they have.
submission model
class Submission < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
user model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :submissions, dependent: :destroy
end
The far I have gone is I'm able to get how many submissions a user has using this query
Submission.all.count(:group => "user_id")
With this for example I'm able to get the number of submissions a user with a specific id has
{1=>3, 2=>5}
I want to have a sorted users table with the user with the highest number of submissions first. How can this be achieved in rails activerecord?
You can do what you want in 2 ways:
Using join, group by and order by count
User.select("COUNT(*) AS count_all, submissions.user_id AS submissions_user_id")
.joins('LEFT JOIN submissions ON submissions.user_id = users.id')
.group('submissions.user_id')
.order('COUNT(submissions.user_id) DESC')
This will generate the following sql:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS count_all, submissions.user_id AS submissions_user_id FROM "users" LEFT JOIN submissions ON submissions.user_id = users.id GROUP BY submissions.user_id ORDER BY COUNT(submissions.id) DESC
LEFT JOIN will get the users with 0 submissions too (if you have that situation)
Using counter_cache
The most efficient solutions for querying, in this context, is to use counter_cache
This will enable you to run a query like this:
User.order('submissions_count DESC')
which translates to:
SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY submissions_count DESC
!!! If you want to implement this, especially in production, do a backup of your database before starting. !!!
Read counter_cache docs to understand what it is and how it can help you.
Add a new column on users table named submissions_count.
class AddSubmissionsCountToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
add_column :users, :submissions_count, :integer, default: 0
add_index :users, :submissions_count
end
end
Modify your Submission model and add counter_cache.
class Submission < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user, counter_cache: true
end
If you have a production database update submissions_count to reflect the number of existing submissions:
User.find_in_batches do |group|
group.each do |user|
user_submissions_count = Submission.where(user_id: user.id).count // find how many subscription a user has
user.update_column(:submissions_count, user_submissions_count)
end
end
Every time a user will create/destroy a subscription, submissions_count will be incremented/decremented for that user to reflect the change.

Rails - Delete rows from a non indexed table

I have a connection table that connects between 2 tables. It has 2 columns: user_id and course_id. The name of the table is: course_sub_managers. This table does not have an index. So, how do I delete all rows that meet a condition in which course_id = certain variable? As for now I use:
sql = "DELETE FROM course_sub_managers WHERE course_id = " + #course.id.to_s
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(sql)
Is there a Rails way to write it?
I suspect you have an course model where you have written something like:
has_many :course_sub_managers
has_many :users, through => :course_sub_managers
in that case you can use:
#course.course_sub_managers.delete_all
It sounds you just want to handle the deletion of a course? Use the :dependent => :destroy on your relationships.
has_many :course_sub_managers, :dependent => :destroy
It will automatically remove the related table items when you destroy a course.

Order by count of has_many :through items in Rails 3

If I have 3 models:
Model Section
Model User
has_many :votes
Model Vote
belongs_to :user
and inside ModelSection
has_many :users
has_many :votes, :through => :users
How to get the Sections list ordered by votes quantity using the AR associations?
The most reasonable way to do this is to use a subquery written as raw SQL for ordering the result as follows...
Section.order(
'(select count(1) from votes inner join users on votes.user_id=users.id where users.section_id=sections.id)'
)
Section.joins(users: :votes).group(:id).order('COUNT(*)')
