Are ActiveRecord connections just DBI connections?

Rails

I need to drop into DBI/DBD - land in order to do lots of prepared
inserts.

Do I need to initiate another DBI specific connection or is my
ActiveRecord DB connection actually a DBI connection that I can just
grab and use?

Thanks,
Wes

For SQL Server, the answer is yes, the database connection of your
ActiveRecords objects is a DBI connection.
