Hi!
I'm creating an app where I need to compare the user input with a default database and give the corresponding value (something like what the Lookup function does in spreadsheets). For that I need to things that I don't understand...
1.- How can I create a default database (or table) for production? Should I use fixtures for that?
2.- How can I compare two values from the table? In my case is to look for an age and the give back kcal/day requirements; I believe in symphony I'd use something like those magic methods, findBy* or findbyOne*, but I don't know how to do something similar in rails... there's such a magic method?
I hope you can guide me!
