standard sql queries in rails

How do I do SQL queries in rails. For example if I want to take params from the users table in my database and match them against another table? Just need a starting ground. Really new to rails...

EDIT/

I'm not looking for a way to do raw SQL, I just want a way to use rails to harness my data (like how would a product selector work with categories, etc)

EDIT/

Basically, users are creating listings of items of things for sale and users (in their preferences pane) select the things that they want. I want to create a 'dashboard' that shows a list of items that other users have posted for sale that matches what they selected in their preferences.

Are you asking about how you perform joins with other tables? Rails makes this very easy through associations. Take a look at Rails Guides: ActiveRecord Associations
