database record delete User.find_by_id().address.destroy

Question

I am trying to delete the address result from here. I can add new address by doing this but I can't delete it

 $User.find_by_id(19).update(address: "canada")

I tried this but it is not working

 $User.find_by_id(19).destroy(address: "canada")

The output of

$User.find_by_id(19).destroy(address: "canada")
  User Load (1.3ms)  SELECT  "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."id" = $1 LIMIT 1  [["id", 19]]

Answer 1

I think you are trying to update the address field value from Canada to nil. If that's the case, what you are looking for is update, not destroy:

User.find(19).update(address: nil)
