Hi all, This forum has been very helpful in the past so I figured I'd try and ask for some help on some (yet again) rather "newbie" stuff again.
I currently have the following DB Schema (Two Tables Listed here): Users Table (user has_many children) ----------- id login ... Children Table (children belongs_to user) -------------- id first_name last_name is_lost (boolean) Users Controller show method: def show @user = User.find_by_login(params[:id]) @lost_children = @user.children.find(:all, :conditions => "is_lost = 't'") ... end This WORKS. However, I'm sure I can cut down doing a find query by doing something like this: @lost_children = @user.children(:is_lost => true) The above doesn't work for me (as I just made it up out of the blue). But there must be something of this nature that can aid in avoiding making another DB call. I've tried searching for a while now but have had little luck. At the very least, any suggestions on how to make that code cleaner/better? Many thanks in advance! -Tony P.S.
