Rails - Feb 2006 - What is best way to show only records belonging to logged user?

Hi all,

What is best way to show only records belonging to logged user? I 
understand that it is better to handle this in model and not controller. 
I am thinking of intercepting find methods in model and add clause 
something like "WHERE id_user = #{user_id}". I would like to hear if
you
would do it likewise and if yes is it better to hack find_by_sql() or 
find() method?

thanks in advance,
Bojan Mihelac

@user.records.find(blabla)

Surely a belongs_to relationship on the records is all you need?
