The benefit of the squeel gem over standard active record

The benefit of the squeel gem over the standard active record

Let's try this query:
Field.where(id: 10).unscope(where: :id)
It results in the below SQL:
"SELECT \"fields\".* FROM \"fields\"

Let try to unscope something a bit more difficult:
Field.where('id > 10').unscope(where: :id)
In this case the unscoping didn't work as we intended:
SELECT \"fields\".* FROM \"fields\" WHERE (id > 10)


Let's try now by using squeel gem:
Field.where{id > 10}.unscope(where: :id).to_sql
Now the unstopping works just as we intended:
"SELECT \"fields\".* FROM \"fields\""

Enjoy :)
