Connect to database using ruby and ActiveRecord

To get connected you database from your ruby file just include the "ActiveRecord" inside your ruby file.

require 'rubygems'
require 'activerecord'

#establish the connection.
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => "mysql",
:database => "database",
:username => "username",
:password => "password",
:host => "localhost"
)

#create a class inherit with you activerecord base class.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
end

user = User.find(:first)
puts user
Or

class SomeThing < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name :users
end

user = SomeThing.find(:first)
puts user

That's It.
