    <p>I'll try to figure out some strange behaviour from a ActiveRecord model. The model have a <code>language</code> field, which is filled with a language identifier ("de", "en")</p> <p>If I want to access the language attribute from the from a model object, I'll get <code>nil</code>.</p> <pre><code> $&gt; foo = Product.first =&gt; #&lt;Product id: 1049488, ... , language: "en", ...&gt; $&gt; foo.id =&gt; 1049488 $&gt; foo.language =&gt; nil $&gt; foo.send("language") =&gt; nil $&gt; foo.to_yaml =&gt; "--- !ruby/object:Product \nattributes: \n ... language: en\n ..." $&gt; foo.language =&gt; "en" </code></pre> <p>It seems like a hidden lazy loading "feature" or something else is trying to interventing here. Is it the field name "language" which causes this behaviour or is there some other mechanism which I dont understand?</p> <p>I use the following Gems inside my Rails project:</p> <ul> <li>rails 3.0.0</li> <li>jquery-rails</li> <li>sqlite3-ruby</li> <li>mysql</li> <li>rmagick</li> <li>acts_as_tree</li> <li>dbi</li> <li>dbd-odbc</li> <li>solr-ruby</li> <li>progressbar</li> </ul> <p>I've also checked various "<a href="http://latheesh.com/2010/02/02/rails-reserved-words/" rel="nofollow">reserved words</a>" list for collisions but no list has <code>language</code> on it. When the column name will be changed to <code>lang</code>, everything works fine. So, it <em>is</em> a naming problem, but I can't track it down. Are there any tools to get a call-stack or something else from a given method in Ruby to locate the problem?</p>

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.
