Hi there,
Returning
It's a simple implementation of the +returning+ for ActiveRecord 3.0 and 3.1.
How to use
Add it to your Gemfile
gem 'returning'
And then
# This sends UPDATE objects SET field = 42 WHERE id = 42 RETURNING generation
object.save(:returning => 'generation') # => #<0xblah Object generation=2>
# This sends DELETE FROM objects WHERE id = 42 RETURNING generation
object.destroy(:returning => 'generation') # => #<0xblah Object generation=3>
It returns readonly object with fields that are specified in the returning option.
Cheers
