# This method is deprecated in favor of find with the :conditions option.
#
# Works like find, but the record matching +id+ must also meet the +conditions+.
# +RecordNotFound+ is raised if no record can be found matching the +id+ or meeting the condition.
# Example:
# Person.find_on_conditions 5, "first_name LIKE '%dav%' AND last_name = 'heinemeier'"
def find_on_conditions(ids, conditions) # :nodoc:
find(ids, :conditions => conditions)
end
deprecate :find_on_conditions => "use find(ids, :conditions => conditions)"
# This method is deprecated in favor of find(:first, options).
#
# Returns the object for the first record responding to the conditions in +conditions+,
# such as "group = 'master'". If more than one record is returned from the query, it's the first that'll
# be used to create the object. In such cases, it might be beneficial to also specify
# +orderings+, like "income DESC, name", to control exactly which record is to be used. Example:
# Employee.find_first "income > 50000", "income DESC, name"
def find_first(conditions = nil, orderings = nil, joins = nil) # :nodoc:
find(:first, :conditions => conditions, :order => orderings, :joins => joins)
end
deprecate :find_first => "use find(:first, ...)"
# This method is deprecated in favor of find(:all, options).
#
# Returns an array of all the objects that could be instantiated from the associated
# table in the database. The +conditions+ can be used to narrow the selection of objects (WHERE-part),
# such as by "color = 'red'", and arrangement of the selection can be done through +orderings+ (ORDER BY-part),
# such as by "last_name, first_name DESC". A maximum of returned objects and their offset can be specified in
# +limit+ with either just a single integer as the limit or as an array with the first element as the limit,
# the second as the offset. Examples:
# Project.find_all "category = 'accounts'", "last_accessed DESC", 15
# Project.find_all ["category = ?", category_name], "created ASC", [15, 20]
def find_all(conditions = nil, orderings = nil, limit = nil, joins = nil) # :nodoc:
limit, offset = limit.is_a?(Array) ? limit : [ limit, nil ]
find(:all, :conditions => conditions, :order => orderings, :joins => joins, :limit => limit, :offset => offset)
end
deprecate :find_all => "use find(:all, ...)"
