Hey,
In Rails you rarely need to use find_by_sql.
You can easily do things like this with Author.find_by_name(username)
Why don't read a bit more about ActiveRecord and Rails in general?
Cheers, Yuri
Or...
Author.find(:all, :conditions => {:username => @username }) replace :all, for :first if needed.
