It seems you are interested in lazy loading, right? For example, if Steps is lazily loaded, you can do Case.FindAll() without having them loaded unless you access Case.Steps. http://castleproject.org/activerecord/documentation/trunk/advanced/tuning.html#lazyload http://castleproject.org/activerecord/documentation/trunk/usersguide/lazy.html#lazyrelation
For further reducing queries in a BelongsTo (such as Case.Author), you can do either eager loading or lazy loading: http://castleproject.org/activerecord/documentation/trunk/advanced/tuning.html#relations%20and%20eager%20loading http://castleproject.org/activerecord/documentation/trunk/usersguide/lazy.html#lazytype -Markus 2009/12/21 Pbirkoff <pbirk...@gmail.com>: > Hi Mauricio, > > Thanx for your reply. > > I've read the sites you provided, but the problem with these examples > is that they all are about retrieving one record, they always provide > an ID. > > My problem is that I want all the case-objects, not just one.
