Hi, I was wondering if any of you Rails/SQL ninjas knew of an elegant way to grab from activerecord all the rows that are within an interval of the current time (say in the last week). For instance, if there''s the created_on datetime column, is there a zippy way to use find() without SQL? It seems like the Ruby DateTime object doesn''t really do intervals for numerous

Hello all I am wondering how rails handles case sensitivity in databases. If I do a Person.find_all_by_name("tim") in mysql I would expect to get tim, TIm, and Tim. Do I only get tim in postgres? How do other people deal with this? Do you resort to find_by_sql for all your postgres queries to get case insensitive results?

Hi, I understand there are total 11 types of key Options for finding a record. The all 11 valid keys for the options hash are :conditions, :include, :order, :select, :group, :joins, :from, :limit, :offset, :readonly, and :lock. We also have Dynamic Finders for the same. e.g. ... find_by etc... I would like to know, how many types of dynamic finders, Active Record provides, to match all those 11 key options above. Where can i read more details regarding dynamic finders...? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Yo...

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()?
