I suspect I'll just gather the data into the table that I know exists now. I was asking because (as is typical of me), I was dreaming about how I might bite off more than I could chew -- wanting to allow the end user to create arbitrary data sets displayed in tabular form, with arbitrary names and types for the different columns. But, as I've thought about it more, it has occurred to me that I will probably get 99.9% of the way where I want to be just by defining the table I need, and creating the relationships necessary to extract and edit specific data sets within that table. But thanks for the great answer. --wpd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
