[Rails] Bind Variables in Active Record

[Tobias Luetke]

I also agree that the old style can just be transformed into ? by way
of a simple regexp or similar. Once the prepared statement is in
activerecord i'm sure you will see it everywhere as recommendet style
and the printf style will disappear quickly. Its one of those rare
cases where the new style has only advantages over the old style
unless i'm missing something.
