I''m trying to use the .exists?() method in a rails application to detect if name=''blah'' exists in a row or not. According to the documentation this would be Person.exists?(:name => "David") However this always returns false for me. If I only look for the row ID it works just fine. Person.exists?(5) I''ve reverted to a more manual approach but feel like this should work. Has anyone made this work as documented? Is this a known bug?
