Type' is a protected column in activerecord for the purpose of inheritance. Oops!
Mark this as the answer even though you answered it yourself. – µBio Dec 9 '09 at 0:41 I will- apparently there's a cooldown time though. Gotta wait 2 days.

I've been working on a web app lately, and Activerecord has started creeping me out- for the most part it's awesome, but it has taken to treating a particular column like a leper. Initially I created a student model from a scaffold. The model holds various information like name, email, entry quarter, etc. And that all works beautifully.
The problem I'm having is in how it's taken to treating a particular column- a string named type. Type is supposed to have a value like "B.S.", "M. S", "PhD", etc, however, neither creating a new object instance nor editing an old one are able to change the value from ''.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
