Topic.find(:all, :conditions => ["expiration_date < ? AND attribute = ?", Time.now + 1.hour, yet_another_variable])
In other words, everything goes in the conditions array. The first element is the SQL fragment. Every other element is a value to be substituted for a ? in the SQL fragment. Rails will properly quote strings and dates. Again, see the find docs [ http://www.railsbrain.com/api/rails-2.2.2/doc/index.html?a=M001891&name=find] for examples. Also, the Rails Guides [ http://guides.rubyonrails.org ] are good, and the section on query conditions [ http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html#conditions ] has more details.
