Newbie question, adding conditions to collection of sql objs

Rails
1

I have:

@[email protected]

How do I add limit and order_by conditions. I have tried the following:

@c.pictures.find_all(:limit=>5)

@c.pictures, :limit=>5

@c.pictures :limit=>5

None of these work.

2

ok, im using @c.pictures.find(:all, :limit=>5)

Is that the right way?

Yes, that is the right way, and to add an order, just use :order. For
example:

@model.find(:all, :order => ‘created_at DESC’, :limit => 5)
