38% of CISOs Fear They’re Not Moving Fast Enough on AI
CISOs are racing to adopt AI for cybersecurity, but hurdles in budgets and governance may leave some falling behind in the fight against cyber threats.
lazy_columns is a Rails plugin that lets you specify columns to be loaded lazily in your Active Record models.
By default, Active Records loads all the columns in each model instance. This plugin lets you specify columns to be excluded by default. It is intended for scenarios where you have large attributes and don't want to load them in every operation because of performance.
Notice that a much better approach is moving those columns to new models, since Rails loads related models lazily by default. This plugin is an easy workaround.
In your Gemfile
gem 'lazy_columns'
Use lazy_load
in your Active Record models to define which column or columns should be loaded lazily:
class Action < ActiveRecord::Base
lazy_load :comments
attr_accessible :comments, :title
end
Now, when you fetch some action the comments are not loaded:
Action.create(title: "Some action", comments: "Some comments") # => <Action id: 1...>
action = Action.find(1) # => <Action id: 1, title: "Some action">
And if you try to read the comments
attribute it will be loaded into the model:
action.comments # => "Some comments"
action # => <Action id: 1, title: "Some action", comments: "Some comments"
This plugin does two things:
The first time you access a lazy attribute a new database query will be executed to load it. If you are going to operate on a number of objects and want to have the lazy attributes eagerly loaded use Active Record .select()
in the initial query. For example:
Action.select(:comments).all
