Question

I am trying this, not sure if I am doing this correctly:

User.where("region_id => ?", region_ids).order("id ASC")

region_ids = [1234,234322,234324,2343,....]

Also, will this work if the region_ids is empty (not null, but empty)

I am seeing an error:

check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '=> NULL) ORDER BY id ASC' at line 1:

When I was in debugger mode, I output the region_ids and it was [].

You’re mixing up Ruby and SQL syntax within the string. What you want is more like ("region_id in (?)", region_ids) or ({ "region_id" => region_ids }).
