How would I use Arel.sql relative to the example from earlier, i.e.
from the ActiveRecord attributes standpoint? This still seems to be
escaped, for instance:
MyModel.create(:field => Arel.sql('now()'))
That's really what I'm looking for, I guess -- a way to bypass quoting
and sanitization when I know that it's safe to do so, as with Ken
Collins' example with #limit and #order and the like and in my case
with attribute assignment. At least in the case of attribute
assignment that even SqlLiterals are escaped, unless I'm missing
something, which I may very well be.
Any ideas?
