# Simple JOIN | |
User.joins(:account) # User -> Account | |
# Will produce | |
# SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` INNER JOIN `accounts` ON `accounts`.`user_id` = `users`.`id` | |
# Complicated JOIN | |
Trait.joins(:user => :account) # Trait -> User -> Account | |
# Will produce | |
# SELECT `traits`.* FROM `traits` INNER JOIN `users` ON `users`.`id` = `traits`.`user_id` INNER JOIN `accounts` ON `accounts`.`user_id` = `users`.`id` | |
# And more complicated JOIN | |
Completion.joins(:trait => {:user => :account}) # Completion -> Trait -> User -> Account | |
# Will produce | |
# SELECT `completions`.* FROM `completions` INNER JOIN `traits` ON `traits`.`id` = `completions`.`trait_id` INNER JOIN `users` ON `users`.`id` = `traits`.`user_id` INNER JOIN `accounts` ON `accounts`.`user_id` = `users`.`id` |
