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?

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers.

Hi all, I feel like I''m missing something really easy and I''m just not seeing it. I''m using the restful_authentication plugin and have a User model.

This may be offtopic to Rails, but what are people doing to find records based on fuzzy string matches? For example, if you wanted to find a Person with name "David Heinemeier Hansson" but searched using the string "Dave Hansson". Currently I am find_by_sql that calls the PostgreSQL function "levenshtein(string1, string2)" which returns results with a score

I have these models: User, field "mundane_name" user has_one :instructor_profile (may or may not exist) instructor_profile, field "sca_name" belongs_to :user I would like to craft a search on these fields, which is effectively this, but in one go: matching_users = User.where("mundane_name ILIKE ?", "%#{target}%") matching_profiles =

I built an index off of some data, it exists in the index/ directory, the form submits find... etc... Just 0 results... all the time :) I confirmed the data from my models is being put

Hi everyone, I run MySQL in my dev environment, but Postgres in my production environment (out of necessity). I''m having trouble finding a way to write a query with a LIKE condition that is supported as case insensitive in both databases.

I've been hacking with parallel package for some time and built a parallel processing framework with it. However, although very rarely, I did notice "ignoring SIGPIPE signal" error every now and then. After a deep dig into the source code, I think I found something worth noticing. In short, wring to pipe in the C function mc_exit(SEXP sRes) may cause a SIGPIPE. Code from
