Answer 1

Using rails three you can just type the model name:

> User
gives:
User(id: integer, name: string, email: string, etc...)

In rails four, you need to establish a connection first:

irb(main):001:0> User
=> User (call 'User.connection' to establish a connection)
irb(main):002:0> User.connection; nil #call nil to stop repl spitting out the connection object (long)
=> nil
irb(main):003:0> User
User(id: integer, name: string, email: string, etc...)
