This seems like it must have been asked before - I really _did_ try to find it in the archives, so my apologies if it''s already out there.

Hey there all, Is there some way to tell rails or sql server to ignore the time in a datetime field when doing a comparison? For example, if I do something like select * from users where registration_date = ?, @date where @date might equal some user input like ''03/14/2006'' The result is nothing returned, because in my tables the datetime field looks like this: 3/14/2006

I poked around the web a little and didn''t run across how to use https when it asks for certificate validation. I''m trying to connect to devices that don''t have valid certificates, and in this case, I don''t care if they are or not.

The ActiveRecord-JDBC adapter is rapidly maturing these days. I got the full set of AWDwR2 migrations to run with it against MySQL last night, and Ola Bini has gotten migrations working well against Oracle and Firebird.

I''d like to be able to check the Etag header during a get to see if the page has changed, as well as some other http header information. Can I do that without hacking Mechanize myself? Does anyone have any examples of how to do this? William

Some blog sites and others (ticketmaster, for example) require you to read a graphical representation of a word or number to prevent a form from being submitted programmatically. I''d like to do something similar on a new site I''m building. Two quick questions: 1. Is there a standard term for these graphical representations? i.e. how would I do a google search for this

I have no idea where this coming from. Here are the important parts of my

I love the routes feature for RoR...until now. I''m trying to write tests to make sure my urls are correctly mapping to the routes I expect them to map to. This is driving me nuts because I simply can''t get any of my tests to pass. I have thus concluded that routes must work differently than I thought. If someone could possibly point me in the right direction, I would really
