Sqlite3 activerecord :order => “time DESC” doesn't sort

Question

rails 2.3.4, sqlite3

I\'m trying this

Production.find(:all, :conditions => ["time > ?", start_time.utc], :order => "time D

Answer 1

It is usually a bad idea to use reserved words without surrounding quotes. time is a built-in function in SQLite, try using the following instead and better get rid of the ambiguity in the first place:

Production.find(:all,
                :conditions => ["`time` > ?", start_time.utc],
                :order => "`time` DESC",
                :limit => 100)

UPD: The problem seems to have appeared on SO:
