It depends on what database access library you are using. There are many 
to choose from; there are direct native APIs to most databases, or the 
low-level DBI which wraps these. They'll all work at the level of SQL 
statements like SELECT.  Then there are higher-level abstractions like 
ActiveRecord, Sequel, DataMapper, og, ...

"find_by_sql" sounds like something from ActiveRecord.

If your question is specifically about ActiveRecord, you might be better 
of asking in a Rails mailing list.
