    <p>Here is a code snippet and its resulting output. The code appears to update the attribute, but when I check the record manually in the database, there is no change. This is confirmed by .changed? returning false. What have I done wrong?</p> <pre><code>class Ticket &lt; ActiveRecord::Base ##+-----------------+-----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ ##| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | ##+-----------------+-----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ ##| ticketid | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | | ##| ticketnumber | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | | NULL | | ##| contactname | char(40) | YES | | NULL | | ##| department | char(40) | YES | | NULL | | ##| tech | char(40) | YES | | NULL | | ##| timeopened | char(18) | YES | | NULL | | ##| timelastchanged | char(18) | YES | | NULL | | ##| mintuesopen | mediumint(8) unsigned | YES | | NULL | | ##| searchtermlist | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | ##+-----------------+-----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ attr_accessible :searchtermlist, :minutesopen, :timelastchanged, :tech end .... thisticket = Ticket.find_by_ticketid(ticketid) if thisticket != nil puts "---Ticket #{ticketid} Found!" if thisticket.searchtermlist.include? importedsearchtermlist puts "---Search term list current!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
