count

v2.2.1 - Show latest stable - Class: ActiveRecord::Associations::AssociationCollection

count(*args)

public

Count all records using SQL. If the :counter_sql option is set for the association, it will be used for the query. If no :counter_sql was supplied, but :finder_sql was set, the descendant’s construct_sql method will have set :counter_sql automatically. Otherwise, construct options and pass them with scope to the target class’s count.
