The maintainability, however, is not. find_by_sql locks your code to one DB server and makes it less maintainable. *Do not* use find_by_sql unless you have no other choice -- write your code with ActiveRecord find syntax whenever possible. > > > Can someone throw light in this please? > > - thanks Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
