Hi How to find the resut by passing string as parameters in clause of
mysql query

For example
arr = [‘t’,‘a’]
@user = User.find(:all,:conditions=>[“firstname IN(#{arr.join(’,’)})”])
it is executing like
select * from users where firstname IN(‘t,a’)
it returns 0 rows

You’ll probably get more responses to ActiveRecord questions on the
Rails mailing lists. Meanwhile:

:conditions => [“firstname IN (?)”, arr]
