Model:

class AdminQueue < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name ‘adminqueue’
end

Interacting with it in script/console

AdminQueue.new
=> #<AdminQueue:0x240a910 @attributes={“topic_id”=>nil,
“resolved”=>nil, “updated_on”=>nil, “action”=>nil, “type”=>nil,
“post_id”=>nil, “mod_name”=>nil, “count”=>1, “user_id”=>nil,
“comment”=>nil}, @new_record=true>

AdminQueue.find(:all)

Sorry guys, I meant to post this in the Rails mailing list.

Any field named ‘type’ is special in Rails, it enables single table
inheritance and is expected to be a character field. Try renaming the
field to ‘queue_type’ or something along those lines.

Thanks Dave, I had a naming conflict just yesterday as well, I really
need to pay closer attention.
