Question

I want to pass hashset to ActiveRecord finder method Model_name.where({ :key => value }). This works perfectly, but SQL composed from that uses straight comparison =. Is it possible to customize this and switch to LIKE comparison usage with hashset?

Answer 1

The :key => value syntax only works for =, IN, and BETWEEN conditions (depending on whether value is atomic, an Array, or a Range). Anything else requires you to pass the SQL as a string:

Model.where("key LIKE ?", value)
