Thanks Fred, I was afraid that would be the case. Would have been great if ActiveRecord had limit/offset as parameters in find_by_sql. One more question if you dont mind, What does the following return statement_handle = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(@sql) Everthing I read tells me that this actually executes the sql and returns the dataset which will then be stored in the memory. However, my colleague believes that it returns the statement_handle and than we can use statement_handle.fetch to return row one by one. I am having a hard time processing that.
