Rail3 Arel finders are just great, but you can't find a lot of example on how powerful they really are.
I made a discovery, just experimenting with some chaining. List say you have Foo has may Bars @foo = Foo.find(1) @bar = @foo.bars That would give you all the bars related to foo(1) But you can also do: @bar = @foo.bars.order(:name).where(:elem => "something") I guess it is like scopes, just not defined in the model. I don't know if that was possible in rails2 (e.g., @bar @foo.bars.find(:conditions => "xxx")) Not sure I have a use for it, but it was interesting that you can filter a nested has_many relationship.
