[Rails] Re: DB Table Constraints using code or not! Best practices?

FWIW, I use the foreign_key_migrations plugin which defines FK's in my
migrations for me. I do this because:

1) I don't trust ActiveRecord to ensure my relations are sane
2) I don't always use ActiveRecord to interact with my DB

I do likewise, for the same reasons. I understand there's now a similar
plugin called Foreigner, but I've never used it.

Add another +1 for the foreign_key_migrations plugin.
If some other person, or some other application will ever connect to
your database (happens all the time here at work), defend it at the db
level.
