If you have built an application using scaffold then you can easily modify database search criteria. Just modify the first line in the controller script

@myController = myController.find :all to something like @mController = myController.find :all, :name => “Controller Name” This is Ruby for SELECT * FROM my_controllers WHERE name=‘Controller Name’

If you are new to RoR then you should look at scaffolding to get you up and going with your database quickly.

Look at this [
