Rails .where multiple values, one not nil

Question

This Code pulls records where foobar is Nil

Model.where(user_id: 14, foobar: nil)

How can I use the same Syntax and get NOT nil?

Something like:

Model.where(user_id: 14, foobar: !nil)

Rails 4:

Model.where(user_id: 14).where().not(foobar: nil)

getting an errror with that ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) – lando2319 Mar 08 '14 at 09:30
Rails version..? also try with `where()` in the second where – Lenin Raj Rajasekaran Mar 08 '14 at 09:35
3.2, the above code still gives me the Argument Error – lando2319 Mar 08 '14 at 09:38
@emaillenin hi thank you - question: is there not a performance hit when appending multiple .where() together? – BenKoshy Aug 19 '16 at 02:09
@BKSpurgeon No they are going to end up as a single SQL query anyway – Lenin Raj Rajasekaran Aug 19 '16 at 05:03

Model.where(user_id: 14).where("foobar IS NOT NULL")

Model.where("user_id = ? AND foobar IS NOT ?", 14, nil)
