Can't find table with ActiveRecord in different thread

Hi, I’m not sure if this is a ruby question or a rails question. If
I create an ActiveRecord table in one thread I can’t find it in
another thread, which I’d like to be able to do. Interestingly,
this behavior seems to be dependent on whether all the code is in a
single file or in separate ones, which seems odd to me.

If you have a question about threading, that might be a Ruby question.
But
the way Rails deals with threading is certainly a Rails question.

But while you’re here… Why do you need this? Normally, tables are
created
inside a migration, after which you restart the server.

I’m not using rails, just ActiveRecord. Foo.find works in the
thread that creates the tables. I get the message "Could not find
table ‘foos’ " in other threads.

Which is part of Rails. It’s one of three or four major components that
make
up Rails. So the Rails list is probably still worth a try.

Foo.find works in the
thread that creates the tables. I get the message "Could not find
table ‘foos’ " in other threads.

Is it possible to create the table before loading the model in any
thread?

Are you sure you’ve committed the transaction that had that “create
table”
command in it? Are you sure that’s all done before the other threads try
the
find?

This is common in migrations.
You need to tell the model that the its been modified.

And you should make sure that its actually created, otherwise your
going to have a race condition.
