Can you do greater than comparison on a date in a Rails 3 search?

Question

I have this search in Rails 3:

Note.where(:user_id => current_user.id, :notetype => p[:note_type], :date => p[:date]).order(\'date ASC, created_at A         


        

Answer 1

Rails 6.1 added a new 'syntax' for comparison operators in where conditions, for example:

Post.where('id >': 9)
Post.where('id >=': 9)
Post.where('id <': 3)
Post.where('id <=': 3)

So your query can be rewritten as follows:

Note
  .where(user_id: current_user.id, notetype: p[:note_type], 'date >', p[:date])
  .order(date: :asc, created_at: :asc)
