Hopefully the subject is clear enough.
Let’s say I’ve got two tables:
create_table :bands do | b |
b.column :name, :string
end
create_table :concerts do | c |
c.column :where, :string
c.column :when, :date
c.column :band_id, :integer
end
and the models:
class Band <<ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :concerts
end
class Concert << ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :band
end
What I’d like to do is find all of the Bands which have at least one
concert on or after a given date.
In this case there are lots of concerts which makes this a bit
performance critical.
I’ve not been able to figure out how to do this through ActiveRecord
so as to generate an efficient SQL query, or how to do it manually
using find_by_sql either. It’s a bit complicated also since SQL date
comparison function seems to be somewhat database dependent.
Any ideas from the community?
