This is interesting. We actually use a SQL query (SELECT … INTO OUTFILE) for our csv exports. Since the data is already there in database, we like to keep rails mostly away from it.

Uhm, is it just the day, or why does the code refuse to load when put in lib.

printed the config.load_paths and lib wasn’t there.

added {RAILS_ROOT}/lib

still no Array.to_csv

hmm

John—I put all of the code (for both AR::Base and Array) in a file in lib/exportable.rb

Where in your Rails project do you put the ActiveRecord::Base and Array definitions? And do you put these in the same file, or in separate active_record.rb and array.rb files?

TIA…
