Rails ActiveRecord not respecting boolean defaults?

The default value is set at DB level. So the insert query will not generate the default. Check the records inserted if they have correct default value set.

This problem was caused by a default_scope with the conditions hash set to draft_record: false. This forced any record being added through active record to set draft_record to false.

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.
