ActiveRecords/Rails famously doesn’t support composite primary keys. This RubyGem extends the activerecord gem to provide CPK support.
gem install composite_primary_keys
require 'composite_primary_keys' class ProductVariation < ActiveRecord::Base self.primary_keys = :product_id, :variation_seq end pv = ProductVariation.find(345, 12)
class ModelWithCompositeKeys < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_keys :id, :updated_at end FactoryGirl.define do factory :model_with_composite_keys do sequence( :id ) { |n| [n,Time.now] } name "Brett" end end
It even supports composite foreign keys for associations.
