Hi smit,
        As you parse the xml data using feednormalizer gem. so you get 
it's result in hash. now running loop for that hash, you are able to 
store xml data to your table. look below code, hope it's solve your 
problem.

 @rss = FeedNormalizer::FeedNormalizer.parse open(feed_url)

 if !@rss.entries.blank?
  for rss in @rss.entries
    @record = Model.new
    @record.url = rss.url
    Same way fill other attributes.. in that table
    @record.save
  end
 end

Thanks,

you could also use rexml

rexml is a gem which can be used to parse xml into the DB dynamically. 
you have to first store the xml into an array and then use for loop and 
insert function to store in mysql.
