Find_by datetime question

Rails
1

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you Rails/SQL ninjas knew of an elegant way
to grab from activerecord all the rows that are within an interval of
the
current time (say in the last week). For instance, if there’s the
created_on datetime column, is there a zippy way to use find() without
SQL?
It seems like the Ruby
DateTime object doesn’t really do intervals for numerous reasons.

Thanks,
Ben

Look at the time delta stuff that Typo uses:

Use it to construct a query like [‘created_at BETWEEN ? AND ?’, start,
end]
