    <p>i am using the parseexcel gem to read an excel file.. every thing is working fine as long as i am printing stuff to the console. i created a rake task to insert the data to the db.. so i have a bunch of create statements. like this </p> <pre><code>description = row[i+1].to_s Coa.create(:is_group =&gt; true, :ag_gl_code =&gt; "AGL_001", :description =&gt; "#{description}") </code></pre> <p>my problem is with the 'description' variable. its a string field. if i print description to the console like this it works and prints the value</p> <pre><code>puts "{#description}" #prints the value 'Estate' </code></pre> <p>but in the create it gives me an sql error</p> <pre><code>SQLite3::SQLException: unrecognized token: "'E": </code></pre> <p>but the query is generated fine. the string is in the query with a single quote, and if the replace the variable with a hard coded string it works just fine. i have tried many combinations, like using to_s etc.. but can't get it to work.</p> <p>any help would be appreciated. thanks</p> <p>here is my schema </p> <pre><code>create_table "coas", :force =&gt; true do |t| t.string "ag_gl_code" t.string "description" t.boolean "is_group" t.datetime "created_at" t.datetime "updated_at" end </code></pre> <p>here is the terminal log, i have logged the value of 'description', note that it prints the value, and no additional quotes.</p> <pre><code>Estate rake aborted! SQLite3::SQLException: unrecognized token: "'E": INSERT INTO "coas" ("created_at", "is_group" , "description", "ag_gl_code", "updated_at") VALUES ('2011-07-14 14:48:56.616150', 't', 'Estate', 'AGL_001', '2011-07-14 14:48:56.616150') </code></pre>

    1. COWhy are you interpolating the string like `:description => "#{description}"`? Just `:description => description` should be sufficient. And your error message indicates that someone isn't quoting things properly.

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.
