Making a web page with ruby without rails

Question

I´m looking for a way to do simple ruby code without rails. I´m coming from PHP world, and sometimes, I just build a page with a Mysql connection, run a query and show resul

Answer 1

This should do the work:

require 'rubygems'
gem 'activerecord'; require 'active_record'

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

end

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  :adapter => 'mysql',
  :database => 'test',
  :user => 'user',
  :password => 'pass'
)

User.all.each do |u|
  puts "
#{u.name} - #{u.age}
"
end

Before running it you need to install activerecord:

gem install activerecord
