How do you manually execute SQL commands in Ruby On Rails using NuoDB

Question

I m trying to manually execute SQL commands so I can access procedures in NuoDB   I m using Ruby on Rails and I m using the following command   ActiveRecord  Base connection execute  SQL query     The  SQL query  could be any SQL command   Like for example I have a table called  Feedback  and when I execute the command   ActiveRecord  Base connection execute  SELECT  feedbacks    FROM  feedbacks      This would only return a  true  response instead of sending me all the data requested    This is the output on the Rails Console is   SQL  0 4ms   SELECT  feedbacks    FROM  feedbacks     gt  true   I would like to use this to call stored procedures in NuoDB but upon calling the procedures  this would also return a  true  response   Is there anyway I can execute SQL commands and get the data requested instead of getting a  true  response

The working command I m using to execute custom SQL statements is   results   ActiveRecord  Base connection execute  foo     with  foo  being the sql statement  i e   SELECT   FROM table     This command will return a set of values as a hash and put them into the results variable   So on my rails application controller rb I added this   def execute statement sql    results   ActiveRecord  Base connection execute sql     if results present      return results   else     return nil   end end   Using execute statement will return the records found and if there is none  it will return nil   This way I can just call it anywhere on the rails application like for example   records   execute statement  select   from table      execute statement  can also call NuoDB procedures  functions  and also Database Views
