Thanks and Regards

The error seems to be in this SQL statement:

SELECT count(expert_id=? and event_date >= ? and
expert_events_approved=1
and expert_events_deleted=
01782012-01-09) AS
count_expert_id_and_event_date_and_expert_events_approved_1_and_expert_events_deleted_0_178_2012_01_09
FROM events

It complains about the “event_date >= ?” where of course the
questionmark
is wrong.
It looks like you do somehing on the line of

MyModel.where(“event_date >= ?”, @date_var)
(simplified)

But for some reason the questionmark is not replaced by the actual
value.

Could you provide the actual Ruby code that is used to generate this
query?
