Using Rails Migration on different database than standard “production” or “development”

Question

I have a rails project running that defines the standard production:, :development and :test DB-connections in config/database.yml

In addition I have a quiz_developm

Answer 1

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base

    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
      :adapter  => "mysql2",
      :host     => "localhost",
      :username => "root",
      :database => "test"
    )
end

And:

class Artic < Aritcle
    self.table_name = 'test'

    def self.get_test_name()
        query = "select name from testing"
        tst = connection.select_all(query) #select_all is important!
        tst[0].fetch('name')
    end
end

You can call Artic.get_test_name in order to execute.
