Disabling FOREIGN KEYs in a Rake task

Rails
1

Hi,

How could I disable my database FOREIGN KEYs in a Rake task?
Or, how could I call the execute() method in a Rake task?

I’m trying to perform something like:

task :delete_the_cippalippa => :environment do
require RAILS_ROOT+’/lib/marsian.rb’
# FIXME: execute() is undefined
execute “SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0”
Cippalippa.delete(-1)
[…some more code…]
# FIXME: as above
execute “SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1”
end

Thanks.

Cheers,
Marco

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute ‘…’
