MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970".

In the agile/rails tutorial book the following construct is added to products.rb. def self.salable_items find( :all, :conditions => "date_available <= now()", :order => "date_available desc") end Now, I wish to extend :conditions => to exclude products that have a nil value for the price.
