An ActiveRecord conundrum

I'm going to describe a weird problem I faced when using ActiveRecord today. To protect the innocent, I'm not going to talk about the app I'm actually working on but will instead discuss a hypothetical but isomorphic database design for a clone of the popular blogging platform Tumblr.

Tumblr lets you publish various different sorts of content. We might be tempted to shove all these types in a big STI table, but the types are all quite different from one another and so we give them their own tables.

require 'twitter'

user = "sferik"
query = /rimm/i

(1..16).each do |page|
  Twitter.user_timeline(user, :page => page, :count => 200).each do |tweet|
    puts tweet.id.to_s + ": " + tweet.text if query.match(tweet.text)
  end
end

  gem 'uglifier'
