Delete_All Comparison

Hello, I'm trying to delete all rows with an older than current timestamp... However, my code is not working... It looks like this:

@currenttime = Time.now Import.delete_all(["created_at < ?", @currentime])

where created_at is an automatically created timestamp in the form 2008-01-18 10:24:47. I was thinking that perhaps it is not working because it should be in UNIX timestamp format? If so, how can I do that? My code isn't throwing any exceptions or anything.

Thank you very much, - Jeff

@currenttime = Time.now Import.delete_all(["created_at < ?", @currentime])

don't know if you copy/pasted that code. there's a typo @currenttime/@currentime, so it would check against nil

ooooooooh man, I feel retarded now. It works perfectly... Thanks for pointing that out!
