Active record and date in where statement

Smilie, if you compare the two queries, the quoted table names and column names are not the problem.

Code:

select * from `table`

does the same as

Code:

select * from table

But there is a real difference between

Code:

id = 'action_id'

and

Code:

id = action_id

The first means id's value is "action_id". The second means id's value is the same as action_id's value!

WanWizard mentioned this before, but I had the feeling you missed this bit.
