IMHO you should definitely have a look at the latest Rails 3 version
of active record which uses arel https://github.com/rails/arel

http://railscasts.com/episodes/202-active-record-queries-in-rails-3
http://railscasts.com/episodes/239-activerecord-relation-walkthrough


Active record can be used separately from Rails, it always could but
Rails 3 makes it easier to pick particular parts of Rails then ever.
