[Arel]Building query, but can't get a proper output

I have the following code:

      advertisements_arel = Advertisement.order("advertisements.id DESC").arel       @advertisements = (params[:website_id].present? ? advertisements_arel.where(:website_id => params[:website_id]) : advertisements_arel).to_a

It returns a struct Arel::SelectManager::Row data But I'd like it to return an array of Advertisement objects (like it would normally do) so I can iterate over it more easily. Anyone know how to do that?

If you remove the .arel you get an ActiveRecord::Relation which you can iterate as if it were an Array, plus you can keep appending .where(…) as in your code

Regards.
