Performing database tasks that can be very resource intensive if done in-correctly. AR doesn't necessarily provide a clear cut path to performing a lot of these without additional effort. Perhaps a post on how to perform these techniques the cleanest way possible, examples: * AR missing the 'having' clause, and what to do if you want to use having in your query. * Count children by parent_id (with conditions, and named_scope [if possible]), to quickly get an ordered array of [[parent, children_count], [parent, children_count]]. 27 4 4515 Topic Suggestions general 61229 jbrooks jbrooks jbrooks 2008-10-15T03:32:37Z 2008-10-15T03:32:37Z general 36464 http://railstips.uservoice.com/pages/4515-topic-suggestions/suggestions/36464-rails-and-money What's the best way to handle tasks in rails when it comes to storing monies in varying currencies.
