similar to: how does rails do this "find_by_?"

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

Hello, I posted this on the rails talk group but received no response.

Test Scenario: I would like to find or initialize a new user and base the find on the users email

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

I was hoping that AR''s find_by_* magic methods would help me retrieve multiple items somewhat like the following: names_to_find = [''Larry'', ''Moe'', ''Curly''] found_people = Person.find_by_name(names_to_find) Is there a way to accomplish this using find_by_* (or even find(:all) using some sort of conditions) or must I resort to SQL
