As long as your table is made up of Models, you can do something like:

@mydata = ModelName.find(‘23’, :conditions => “NAME = ‘xxx’” )

If you know the ID, you don’t need anything else. IDs are unique so
the
query on the second field just eats cycles with no upside. Assuming
this
was just a poorly thought-out example…

two or more properties are queried, in the most general case, with:
Model.find(all, :conditions => ["first_condition =? && second_condition

?", first_param, second_param])

Use the find_by helpers for more readable / idiomatic code.

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.each

I know that code is correct but it return error. What is the reson for
this?
