count acting as find(:all)

[Allan]

Hi,

I'm doing a count of a large data set:

RegressionData.count

which I expect to emit the SQL (using MySQL):

SELECT count(*) AS count_all FROM `regression_data`

but instead I get

SELECT * FROM `regression_data`

when using ambition and given that there are 130K entries it's a bit
slow!

RegressionData.size and RegressionData.length do a similar query.

Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. I've done a little digging and I think
the problem is within Ambition::API#size, but I can't remember as I've
since patched my local copy of ambition.

I'm also having problems with record.association.count, where
association is a has_many - I'm getting a 'wrong number of arguments'
on that. That may well not be an ambition problem, but I thought it
was worth mentioning all the same.

Cheers
Ben

Are your patches in Github? If so I can check them out and report
back.

Yep—

Sorry about the excess diffs, I stripped trailing whitespace at one
point.

If you two want to chat about the future of Ambition sometime in IRC,
I'm defunkt in #github.
