Rails ActiveRecord Find / Search by Date

Question

I am trying to find records by \'created_at\' date - the database column type is \'datetime\' and I am using the UI DatePicker from jQuery

my url look like this: \"

Answer 1

selected_date = Date.parse(params[:selected_date])
# This will look for records on the given date between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59
sh = SupportHistory.where(
       :created_at => selected_date.beginning_of_day..selected_date.end_of_day)

Time Zones may be a concern you need to look into, but this should work if all your times are in the same time zone.
