# Launch pry based interactive Rails console
$> pry -r ./config/environment.rb

# redirect Mongoid logging to console
pry(main)> Mongoid.logger = Logger.new($stdout)

# run a query
pry(main)> User.where(:username => "greg").first()

# Mongoid spits out the query, but, I actually want to see the raw Mongo query
MONGODB (515.5ms) development['users'].find({:username=>"greg"}).limit(-1).sort([[:_id, :asc]])
