Getting typed results from ActiveRecord raw SQL

Question

In Sequel, I can do:

irb(main):003:0> DB[\"select false\"].get
=> false

Which returns a false boolean. I\'d like to be able to do so

Don't have enough reputation points to respond, but Bjorn's answer and associated replies are broken in Rails 5. This works:

res = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all(sql)
res.to_a.map{|o| o.each{|k, v| o[k] = res.column_types[k].cast v}}
