Re-asking... I have a parent with has_many children. The children have a column ''blah''. IF I do the following: parent.children.find_by_blah(42) The sql exectued is: select * from blah where parent_id = 1 and blah = 42 select * from blah where parent_id = 1 The first line of sql is what I want. The second appears to be ActiveRecord loading up all of parent.children. This I don''t want b/c children is huge. How to I use ActiveRecord to find the children "by_blah" without causing ALL children to be selected from the DB? thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

No i just want to use idiomatic rails to cause select * from blah where parent_id = 1 and blah = 42 without causing rails to also do a presumptive select * from blah where parent_id = 1 Instead of using parent.children.find_by_blah(42), should I just just do Child.find(:all, :condition => [''parent = ? and blah = ?", parent.id, 42] ? Kind of funky to me. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
