dose Ruby or ActiveRecord have the Java/JDBC equivalent for retrieving
ResultSet meta data…
PreparedStatement statement = null;
try
{
statement = connection.prepareStatement(“select * from some_table”);
ResultSet rs = null;
try
{
rs = statement.executeQuery();
ResultSetMetaData rsMetaData = rs.getMetaData();
int columnCount = rsMetaData.getColumnCount();
more stuff...
