I was thinking of framing a wall. The floor is concrete. I then went to one of our most renowned building material companies and asked for advice on how to mount it. The sales assistant's suggestion was to drill a hole through the stud and the concrete floor and insert a piece of rebar, which you then bend down towards the wood and fasten with nails.
I was going to ask him if he knew it's 2010 and that there's surely something other than expansion bolts or nail plugs that is faster, cheaper, and better. I refrained.
The question remains, how do you fasten a 45 stud to a concrete floor for a wall?

Different types of plug or "spik" exist. 45*45?
Place the floor beam on top of the syllpapp where the beam should be, drill through the beam and concrete using a concrete drill - drive in an expanding nail, expanding screw, or nail plug. It is important that you do not need to move or adjust the beam, as it is firmly in place. It is IMPORTANT that you do NOT have underfloor heating coils in the concrete slab - In that case, do not drill into the slab.
It was an unusually stupid suggestion you received, but I'm not that surprised.

You should not even try to measure or even attach a drill to the drill machine - you should NOT drill into the concrete slab at all!!! Instead, glue the rule with e.g.

But there is a jungle of all types of glue.
