Hi,
I am using a join that looks like this:
Person.find :all, :select => 'children_people_3.*', :joins => { :children => { :children => :children } }, :conditions => { :people => { :name => 'tom' }, :children_people => { :name => 'dick' }, :children_people_2 => { :name => 'harry' }, :children_people_3 => { :name => 'charles' } }
which I don not like because I am hard-coding assumptions about the table aliases used for the joins into the conditions.
Can someone tell me how to write the conditions in a more flexible way (can they be specified using the hash syntax?), or possibly tell me how I could try use the Arel being used to construct the query by the Rails core to construct the table aliases that I am hard-coding above.
Rails 3.0.0.beta.
Thanks.
