How to get atoms of data from the DB

rubyonrails-talk
1

U can do freak.findbystatus and pass in freaky as status

2

Freak.count(:conditions=>[:status=>'freaky']) should do it

more generic - but more sql-dialect-specific

Freak.connection.select_one("SELECT count(*) FROM freaks WHERE status='freaky' ")

should give you atomic precision.

Why has google groups no 'Ruby-syntax-check ?

Freak.count(:conditions => { :status=>'freaky' } )

was what I wanted to write
