This functionality can be easily used to implement important reporting, data mining, and other functionality to a web application built with Ruby on Rails in a manner that may be faster and more concise than an implementation that uses only typical ActiveRecord patterns. The complexity of dealing with the relational data is abstracted away from the Rails application that is a consumer of the data, keeping the model, controllers, and Rails view concisely focused on their appropriate roles.
