I'm trying to clean up some queries on an app I work on. Right now I'm performing 4 queries to the same table for very similar information

MyModel.order("for_date ASC").where('boolean_column_1 = ?', 'Y').last
MyModel.order("for_date ASC").where('boolean_column_2 = ?', 'Y').last
MyModel.order("for_date ASC").where('boolean_column_3 = ?', 'Y').last
MyModel.order("for_date ASC").where('boolean_column_4 = ?', 'Y').last

My question is: what's the best way to clean this up? I'd like to keep it to only 4 values returned, because it's a big table. I can't think of a good way to reduce this to one query

ruby version 2.1, rails version 3.2

The issue is it needs to limit one record returned for each boolean condition met. something along the lines of `MyModel.where("b1 = ? OR b2 = ?", Y, Y).limit_one_per_OR` – Andrew Algard Dec 11 '17 at 20:10
