我正在寻找最大的Rails-ish方式来检索给定专辑上的可用歌曲的不同类别列表将SQL转换为Rails 3 ActiveRecord

这是SQL的album_id = 1个

-- Using subselects 
select * from categories where id in (
    select distinct category_id 
    from categorizations 
    where song_id in (select song_id from album_songs 
        where album_id = 1 and available = 't') 
) 
order by name asc; 

-- Using joins 
select distinct c.* from categories c 
    inner join categorizations cz on c.id = cz.category_id 
    left join album_songs a on cz.song_id = a.song_id 
where a.album_id = 1 and a.available = 't' 
order by c.name asc; 

我的工作(尽管天真!)尝试端口这ActiveRecord的

## attempting to do it like subselects (although they're not really 
## subselects, it executes them individually -- from what i've read 
## ActiveRecord won't do subselects?) 
Category.where('id IN (?)', 
    Categorization.select('DISTINCT category_id').where('song_id IN (?)', 
    Album.find(1).songs.available.map(&:song_id) 
).map(&:category_id) 
).order('name ASC') 

## joins - although at this point it's pretty much all sql 
## as i couldn't find a way to do the left join in pure AR 
## i'm also duplicating my AlbumSongs.available scope -- is 
## that scope reusable here? (outside the AlbumSongs model?) 
Category.select('DISTINCT categories.*') 
     .joins(:categorizations, 
       'LEFT OUTER JOIN album_songs ON categorizations.song_id = album_songs.song_id') 
     .where('album_songs.album_id = ? and available', 1) 

我与最后一个去,但它似乎像我可能只是写在SQL中?

有没有什么办法可以改善这一点?Rails-ish?

那么,如果你发布你的模型设置,它肯定会有帮助。但假设:
*歌曲的has_many:类别,:通过=>分类已
*专辑没有在它巨大的歌曲量

为什么不只是做:

Album.includes({:songs => {:categorizations => :categories}}).find(1).songs.collect {|s| s.category}.flatten.uniq
