Then the best thing to do, it seems to me, is to restructure things as I indicated before. Moving the query into the controller will not require any more code, and it will decouple the view from the DB (which is the right thing). The proper Railsy way is like this: # controller def page1 @content = Pagecontent.find(whatever) end # page1.html.erb <%= @content %> Less code than a helper, more flexible, and more truly MVC. The helper method has nothing at all to recommend it here.
