Hi everyone: Thanks for all the input here. My datasource is parsing the parameters correctly and I've got it hooked up to a fancy Google motion chart which is why I was doing this in the first place.
I've also ordered a copy of The RSpec Book so it looks like I'm going to have some reading to do soon! I did have one more question about running SQL queries in Rails. I'm defining a set of reports which can contain arbitrary SQL which can be executed to produce data for my graphs. I've been able to get a raw database connection using ActiveRecord::Base.connection which I can use to execute my SQL, however I'm not sure how to properly escape parameters I'm passing in to my queries if I want to prevent SQL injection attacks. What is a safe way to escape these values? I feel like I'm not generating the data for these reports "the Rails way". Any thoughts?
