Hi,

I've just discovered the "named_scope" method which seems great.  I'm
wondering there is any reason why you wouldn't always use a named scope (to
get the advantages), over a custom method on your model to return an array
of records?

That is using:

class Shirt < ActiveRecord::Base
    named_scope :red, :conditions => {:color => 'red'}
end

instead of

class Shirt < ActiveRecord::Base
    def red
       Shirt.find_all_by_color('red')
    end
end


Comments?
