Thank you Juan and Colin. One thing I didn't mention is that canceled_time comes from different class where the relationship is:
class CourseDate < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :course_lessons end CourseLesson class CourseLesson < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :course_date end so in the query: @course = CourseDate.find_all_by_date_and_canceled_time(Date.today,nil) 'date' is in table 'course_dates' 'canceled_time' is in table 'course_lessons' So the suggested: CourseDate.where(:date => Date.today, :canceled_time => nil) did not work (thanks Juan) But I'm getting all records for today (and their related lessons), eventhogh one of the records has its 'canceled_time' set with time. I'm of course expecting to get only those records with 'canceled_time' not set. I'm using rails 3+ Colin, scope names looks elegant and I'll use it, but first I would like to get my original query working. Any hints how ?
