Rails - Jan 2006 - collect array values

This may be more of a Ruby question, but I wasn''t sure.

Is there a way to run a find on a model and then save two fields as  
key => value in an array for each row. Then use this array on the  
template for checking if various checkbox or select values are  
checked? I''m trying to avoid running one query to check the value for  
each box in the form.

Is this what you mean?

myhash = Hash.new
Model.find(:all).collect{|m| myhash[m.value1]=m.value2}
