ActiveRecord Find By Year, Day or Month on a Date field

Question

I have an ActiveRecord model that has a date attribute. Is it possible to utilize that date attribute to find by Year, Day and Month:

Model.find_by_year(201         


        

Answer 1

For MySQL try this out

Model.where("MONTH(date_column) = 12")
Model.where("YEAR(date_column) = 2012")
Model.where("DAY(date_column) = 24")
