Generate random texts

Hi,
I have used this method to generate random texts ....

def rendom_password
chars = ("a".."z").to_a + ("A".."Z").to_a + ("0".."9").to_a
newpass = ""
1.upto(7) { |i| newpass << chars[rand(chars.size-1)] }
end

Thanks,

'Include' in rails query

For getting a datum from 2 tables, I have used include as follows,

Admin:

belongs_to :user

User:

has_many :admins

There was a condition that i have to sort names of admins, where the names of admins will be in user table.

Hence,

Admin.find(:all, :include=>"user", :order => "users.name")


I felt this easy than sqls, & interesting
