 => "SELECT users.* 
      FROM users 
      INNER JOIN cars 
      ON cars.user_id = users.id 
      WHERE users.name = 'jkai' "

> User.joins(:cars).where(:cars => {:condition => 'awesome'})
 => "SELECT users.* 
      FROM users 
      INNER JOIN cars 
      ON cars.user_id = users.id 
      WHERE cars.condition = 'awesome' "

> Product.joins(:users).where(:users => {:name => 'richard'})

> Person.pluck(:id) 
=> SELECT people.id FROM people

> User.select([:email, :username])
=> SELECT email, username from user

> Product.limit(5).order("price DESC").limit(10).each { |x| puts x.price }
> Product.limit(5).order("price ASC").limit(10).each { |x| puts x.price }

> Product.limit(5).order(:price).first.price
