Ruby Sequel (SQlite3) 'SELECT' error

I'm using a ruby helper to extract data from an SQLite3 database using sequel ORM. Here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# encoding: UTF-8

require_relative 'greekdate'
require 'sequel'

module Pharmacy
    class Open
        def initialize
            db = Sequel.sqlite("../lib/drama.sql")
            @address = db[:addressbook]
            @ov = db[:overnight]
            @grday = GRDay::MDate.new
        end                         

        def display
            data = @address.first(id: get_id()) # ERROR HERE
            p data[:name]
        end

        private
        def get_id
            mod_date = @grday.get[:mod_date]
            @ov.each do |entry|
                return entry[:pharmacy_id] if entry[:date].to_s == mod_date
            end
        end
    end
end

I am calling the display method. The error I'm getting is:

    from test.rb:17:in `display'
    from test.rb:32:in `<main>'

I'm not sure why this. At first I thought that I should somehow close and re-open the connection, but the error says "only a single result allowed for a SELECT that is part of an expression" and I was getting a single result until yesterday, I see no reason for me to get 2 results since I'm invoking table.first(id: X) .

Any ideas and explanations would be more than welcome :-)

Thanks for your time,

PA

Your get_id method returns @ov if no entry in @ov has the given date, as that is the return value of @ov.each. You probably want something like:

def display
    if id = get_id
      data = @address.first(id: id)
      p data[:name]
    end
end

private
def get_id
    mod_date = @grday.get[:mod_date]
    @ov.each do |entry|
        return entry[:pharmacy_id] if entry[:date].to_s == mod_date
    end
    nil
end

Note that display is a poor choice for a method name, since Object#display is already defined by ruby.
