Calling a stored procedure from activerecord

Rails

I need to call a SQLServer stored procedure from activerecord. It has
one string parameter. How is this done?

Take a look at ActiveRecord’s #find_by_sql or #execute methods.

Assuming user class:

User.connection.execute(“exec myproc.sp ‘param’”)

So basically, just like you would in any other language. However, I’d
bury
this.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

def self.myproc(param)
self.connection.execute(“exec myproc ‘#{param}’”)
end

end

That way you can call

User.myproc(“something”)

When you call that, you get back a Mssql::Result class. You’ll need to
look
at the api docs to figure out how to retrieve records, but it’s
basically a
collection (think array)

The Agile Web D. with Rails (2nd Edition) Chapter 17 is a great
start.
