count(column_name = nil) public

Count all records using SQL. Construct options and pass them with scope to the target class’s count.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/associations/collection_association.rb, line 251
      def count(column_name = nil)
        relation = scope
        if association_scope.distinct_value
          # This is needed because 'SELECT count(DISTINCT *)..' is not valid SQL.
          column_name ||= reflection.klass.primary_key
          relation = relation.distinct
        end

        value = relation.count(column_name)

        limit  = options[:limit]
