Hi,

i am kind of new to ror,

i have rails connected to a remote DB in Postgres,i am trying to remake  
the  
connection instead of accessing directly through query to table start  
using  
the views available,

any help/hint on the best way to do this would be appreciated.

my first thought is to make a new model and replace the one i have…  
if i  
find out how this works 🙂

thanks.
