Finding records that overlap a range in Rails

Question

So, I have an Event model that has a starts_at and a ends_at column and I want to find events that take place in a range of dates.

Answer 1

I guess an event overlaps if it begins before the range ends and ends after the range begins. :)

So:

{:conditions => ['? < ends_at AND ? > starts_at', range.first, range.last]}
