Hi,
I have a Person model and Company model like as follows:-
Person.rb
class Person <ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :company
end
Company.rb
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
end
I have a function
def person_details
@person=Person.find(params[:id, :include=> :company)
end
person_details.html.erb
<%[email protected]%> : <%[email protected]%>
I read that if you use the :include option then it reduces your number
of queries.
Means, whenever it is firing a query to find person same time it eager
loads the company association.
I am confused that what exactly it does? Is it load the company object
in memory? and instead of going to database it takes it from memory.
Can anyone elaborate me what exactly happens when we use the :include
option.
Thanks,
Mike
