Question

I have the following statement in Rails 3 using an SQLite3 database:

word = \'Hello\'
word_entry = Word.where(\"name REGEXP :word\", {:word => \"[[:<:]

I ran into the same issue. I took the code used in the resolution, ported it to work with Rails 3+ and made a gem for easier use. I hope this helps.
