@workflow\_task = WorkflowTask.find(params[:id])  
@workflow = @workflow\_task.workflow

Is there any issue in the above code? Yes. There are two DB hits in the  
above statement. First one is WorkflowTask.find(params[:id]).  
Second one is @workflow\_task.workflow.

We can reduce this two one DB hit using :include like following:

@workflow\_task = WorkflowTask.find(params[:id], :include =\> [:wofklow]  
@workflow = @workflow\_task.workflow

The RAILS will do the JOIN.

Just wanted to share with everyone since the ROR new commers might not  
aware of this.
