I’ve been working on a big Rails project and I’m still finding things that impress me. Recently, I wanted the equivalent of SQL’s “IN” statement, e.g.

select *
from people
where first_name in ('MrChucho','MsChucho')

I wasn’t immediately sure how to do this with Active Record, so I tried what seemed most intuitive: passing an Array to find…

Person.find_by_first_name(['MrChucho','MsChucho'])

It worked perfectly!
