rails has_one remove link

Question

Is the only way to destroy an association of a has_one and belongs_to by setting the FK to nil on the belongs_to object?

Answer 1

Since I remenber, once you set drop in cascade, you just have to delete the object and it deletes all dependencies.

Hope this helps, Cheers

Answer 2

Doesn't setting @obj1.obj2 = nil work?

But this doesn't delete the belongs_to record. If you want to do it you need to do @obj1.obj2.delete
