Hi, How complex a query can ActiveRecord handle before it's better using Raw SQL or a View???
I need to calculate for example taxable income via a query going across 5 tables. Some like this: Find all transaction records (transactions table), for which they are allocated (via allocation table) to person X (person table), for transaction dates within date1 & date2, for which the category (categories table) associated with transaction, has a tax_id (from tax_codes table) of XYZ. I will need to reuse this type of query as I build a report of various tax categories. Question - What would Rails best practice way for the above? [I'm thinking best to create a flat view of this and use this to then query against] Thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
