Can someone clarify what type of object is returned from a find (:select => ...) statement that only selects a subset of the records columns?
If I have an object Foo with attributes A and B, and call find(:select => "A"), is the object that's returned still a Foo object? Is it a new Foo object? Does it not have a B attribute (which would mean there would exist more than one type for Foo)? or is the B attribute simply nil? Is there a way to replicate the behavior of the :select on an object - to return an object that appears to be the same type but has a subset of the attributes?
