Validations

out of the box touch will run with validations

Create new Hash as subset of another a different way

or

only keys

old_hash = { :a => 'A', :b => 'B', :c => 'C', :d => 'D', :e => 'E', :f => 'F' }
only_keys = [ :a, :c, :f ]
new_hash = old_hash.delete_if { |k, v| !only_keys.include? k }

only values

old_hash = { :a => 'A', :b => 'B', :c => 'C', :d => 'D', :e => 'E', :f => 'F' }
only_values = [ 'A', 'D', 'G' ]
new_hash = old_hash.delete_if { |k, v| !only_values.include? v }

there are many ways to skin a cat :)

create generates the object and saves. new only generates the object.

e.g.

o = Object.new(:foo => 'bar')
o.save

is the same as

o = Object.create(:foo => 'bar')

Re: Find random record

How about if you wanted to find a random set of records instead of a singular record, what would be the best way?

Thank you
