SQL in rails

Hi all…

please give me an example that use SQL in models to handel data in
the data base. with “sql.execute” or any other possible way…

thankx

class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
def raw_sql_query
connection.execute(“select name from #{table_name}”)
end
end

The above example will return something like this:
[{:name => “A”}, {:name => “B”}]

thankx Andrew
I’ll try it
