Since they might have different precision milliseconds.
Refer to the post: Testing ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone objects for equality
Chances are the millisecond values would be unequal.
puts i1.created_at.usec
puts i2.created_at.usec

Seems not to work validates_uniqueness_of :created_at
because
irb(main):046:0> i1.created_at == i2.created_at
=> false
How to validate created_at? Don't want to save with the same date.
+++ UPDATE +++
irb(main):048:0> i1.created_at.class

I think, if you are getting concurrent requests
, there are chances that you may have multiple entries in the table which are created at same time and will have same time stamps.
As you said, if you don't want to save with the same date
, you can put a lock
while saving the entries, removing the possibility of creating two entries at same time. In that case validates_uniqueness_of :created_at
should also work.
Just in case
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :asin, :domain, :formatted_price, :user_id, :created_at
validate :double_dates
private
def double_dates
if Item.where(:user_id => self.user_id, :asin => self.asin, :domain => self.domain).where("DATE(created_at) = ?", Date.today).length >= 1
errors.add(:created_at, "no double dates")
end
end
end
