I would like to be able to save a set of age brackets as a range and

I've done quite a bit of searching (maybe my Google-fu just sucks)
but haven't had any luck in getting to an answer. Anyone have any
thoughts on doing this or should I simply save the minimum / maximum
and roll my own range-like methods?
You could use serialize
class Person
serialize :age_range
end
teenager = Person.create(:age_range => 13..19)
But be aware that the actual field in the table will be a YAML-ized
representation as a string.
