Thanks guys, the first query is working fine now. Rails is still rejecting the syntax of this subselect:
@books = Books.find_by_sql ["SELECT * FROM books WHERE title IN SELECT title FROM authors WHERE name = ?", params[:author][:name]] I know the inner select should be in (), but its not taking it where I put it. Can any one see what the problem is?
