Virtual Generated Columns in Rails with ActiveRecord Discussion

Nice episode! I'd love to see an example where the virutal column on one table is using data from another table!

I think that would be a JOIN and referencing the other table's column, but good suggestion. 👍

What happens when passing stored: false?

The column is computed on select and not on insert/update.

For virtual column, if we provide true for store attribute in migration file, will create a column in db and store the value?
