Active object and query

[Z-EL]

Hi,
I'm trying to import a file and inject it in dataBase.

Each time,i need to verify if the object exist in database,to create or update the object.

What is the best scenario to do this without reducing performances.

Thanks.

Hi Z-EL

If you are querying your table with a field and then checking if there is a record or not then you might simply you ActiveObjects::count method to check the number of records matching your query this way you don't have to fetch the object from DB each time.
