I've got a pre-existing postgres database that I'm attempting to query. I've set up two models, Customer and Equipment. I'm trying to query two tables joining them with a non-standard key. No matter what I've tried, I get back only the result from one table. I've tried changing the ActiveRecord behavior to use the non-standard key as well as find_by_sql(). I also disabled the default table pluralization because of the existing table structure. Am I missing something obvious?
ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false
class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
self.primary_key = :acct
has_many :equipment, foreign_key: 'acct'
end
class Equipment < ActiveRecord::Base
self.primary_key = :acct
belongs_to :customer, foreign_key: 'acct'
end

Edit
Modified the Equipment class changing the belongs_to :equipments to :equipment. Resulted in fixing the ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError: Association named 'equipment' error. But still no fix for the join. If I manually query the Equipment table using the "key" from the Customer table, the data record is found.
2.2.1 :008 > Customer.joins(:equipment).limit(1)
Customer Load (11.9ms) SELECT "customer".* FROM "customer" INNER JOIN "equipment" ON "equipment"."acct" = "customer"."acct" LIMIT 1
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation > [#<Customer acct: "000002", franchise: "501", name: "NAME", address: "STREET ADDR", city: "CITY", state: "ST", zip: "ZIPCODE", phone: "1234567890", email: "[email protected]", installdate: "2014-02-20", consumptiondate: nil, parent: "", sentoverage: false, exempt: false, pin: "", locked: false, status: "ACT">]
2.2.1 :017 > Equipment.where(acct: '000002')
Equipment Load (76.5ms) SELECT "equipment".* FROM "equipment" WHERE "equipment"."acct" = $1 [["acct", "000002"]]
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Equipment mac: "26225070", acct: "000002">, #<Equipment mac: "23126536", acct: "000002">, #<Equipment mac: "00E06F76A08A", acct: "000002">]>
For a simpler solution define a scope by_customer in Equipment model,
class Equipment < ActiveRecord::Base
...
scope :by_customer,->(customer_conditions) { joins(:customer).where(customer: customer_conditions)}
end
and following scope by_equipment in Customer model,
class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
...
scope :by_equipment,->(equipment_conditions) { joins(:equipment).where(equipment: equipment_conditions)}
end
To find Equipments of Customer '000002'
@equipments = Equipment.by_customer(acct: '000002')
To find Customer who has an equipment of mac address is '26225070'
@customer = Customer.by_equipment(mac: '26225070')
