Thanks Michael, that got me thinking! This is a hack, but it still
works for me because I can call it on one line. I am developing a
reporting system where I convert an ActiveRecord object list to a table,
so I really wanted to avoid hard coding something in each class. This
allows me to create my list on one line and then pass it to my
conversion method.
Click.find(:all,:select=>"count(*) as click_count, date",
:group=>"date").each{|c|c.click_count = c.click_count.to_i}
I still want to figure out why count(*) does not return a number data
type, but this will work for now.
