[:all, {:group=>“threads.created_at, users.name”, :include=>[:threads]}]

@users = User.find(:all, :conditions => [“threads_.replies.title = ?”,
“rquerypad”])
generate:
[:all, {:inner_joins=>[“threads”], :conditions=>[“replies.title = ?”,
“rquerypad”], :include=>[{:threads=>:replies}]}]

database

threads.id = ?”, “rquerypad”, 1])
