I know this is probably a noob question, but I needed a little clarification. I did the following in the console of my app:
>> User.find(:all, :conditions => "orders.id > 1", :joins => :orders).size => 1254 >> User.find(:all, :conditions => "orders.id > 1", :include => :orders).size => 934 A user has many orders. Why am I getting different results? When using fields in a has_many relationship should I ALWAYS use the :include option. I did the reverse too: >> Order.find(:all, :conditions => "users.id < 100", :joins => :user).size => 172 >> Order.find(:all, :conditions => "users.id < 100", :include => :user).size => 172 I'm getting the same result. What is the general rule of thumb on when to use joins or includes?
