Hello All,  
I’m looking to see if I can coerce ActiveRecord to connect to a remote  
Postgres server via ssl. Htere seems to be a way to do it with MySQL,  
but I don’t see similar capability in the Postgres Adapter. Has anyone  
been able to force ActiveRecord to use SSL to connect to a remote  
Postgres server?  
Any help would be appreciated because I’m stuck.
