Values Of: Adds a values_of class method to ActiveRecord::Base classes. Under the hood is simply does a construct_finder_sql, forcing :select to be whatever you pass in the first argument, using that to call connection.select_values and (optionally) type_cast()ing the resulting values. Aside from being prettier than passing a honking long SQL string to connection.select_values, the use of construct_finder_sql also ensures that any with_scope() in effect will be honored.
