If you want to load matching As without instantiating the Cs, you could do something like: A.where(id: C.where(code: params[:codes]).pluck(:a_id)) If you are going to instantiate all As and Cs found anyway, you could just use eager loading: found_c = C.where(code: params[:codes]).includes(:a) found_a = found_c.collect(&:a).uniq Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
