In your action, you can use ARFetch to fetch your objects from the
database as long as you have that object's id in your params.  What if
you wanted to fetch your objects using a different property of the
object, say a name.  Is that possible?

Below is part of an action I have on a controller that is creating a
new Technology object and saving it to the database.  As you can see,
I use ARFetch to fetch all these objects and then associate them to my
Technology instance.  I just look at this code and think there must be
a better way.

Also, my String q is from a text box that the user types in that I
then need to go look up in my database to get a User object, hence my
question about using ARFetch to look up an object by Name instead of
Id.  Is this the place to create my own custom DataBind object based
on ARFetch?

Just looking for pointers from others as to if there is anything I can
do to improve this code.

Thanks,

Jason
