search for: find_all_by_

In the Agile RoR book, page 219 (softcover version) they talk about the fact you can use the methods: find_by_ and find_all_by_ and fill in the last piece with a valid column name. So I have a database table called "parts" and the following columns: id partname partnumber vendor I do the following: (connection to DB already established) class Part < ActiveRecord::Base end mypart = Part.find_by_partname(&...

Is find_all_by deprecated and/or find_first_by for 2.0.2? If not, what is actually deprecated? just find_all(..) and find_first()?

...me know if you have a better, more elegant way. Still new to Rails, but was fiddling around with the Select Helper trying to return an option collection that was filtered (in other words, I didn''t want every item from the collection, just the ones that met a certain criteria). I used find_all_by_ to do it and it looks like this in my view: <% select ''deal'', ''supplier'', Client.find_all_by_is_supplier(true, :order => ''name'').collect { |c| [c.name, c.id] } %> Note the sort order as well. Hope this helps someone... Cheers, David...

Hi all, I have a controller method that, given some parameters, constructs a big sql query and passes it to find_by_sql (with pagination).

When I use find_by_name method I get LIMIT 1 result. > SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."age" = 25 LIMIT 1 But the "age" column is not unique in my table and its value may repeat. So I expect that an array of records where "age" is 25 will be returned. But AR limits the query by 1. How to avoid it? Or is it the default
