Return unique rows with finders

Rails
1

I’m looking through the api for something like find(:all, :distinct =>
true)
so that multiple instances of a row won’t be returned - is this
possible?

Thanks!

You can use
find(:first, :select => “DISTINCT *”)

You may specify the :uniq => true (the spelling of uniq matches
Ruby’s Array#uniq) option for has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many
associations.
