hello:  
How do i find the newly created 10 users in the database?Now i only  
know the way:  
1.users=User.find(:all,:order=\>“created\_at DESC,id”)  
2.then get the first 10 users from the array  
I think this way is not the best one for getting all the records  
everytime.  
Anyone can help me?

just use the :limit attribute

users=User.find(:all,:order=\>“created\_at DESC,id”, :limit =\> 10)
