This makes for clearer readability if you have a large number of variable conditions.
-h5(#array-range_conditions). Range Conditions
-
-If you're looking for a range inside of a table (for example, users created in a certain timeframe) you can use the conditions option coupled with the +IN+ SQL statement for this. If you had two dates coming in from a controller you could do something like this to look for a range:
-
-<ruby>
-Client.where(:created_at => (params[:start_date].to_date)..(params[:end_date].to_date))
-</ruby>
-
-This query will generate something similar to the following SQL:
-
-<sql>
- SELECT "clients".* FROM "clients" WHERE ("clients"."created_at" BETWEEN '2010-09-29' AND '2010-11-30')
