Adding record in database table

Hi, I have a question that Is it possible to add record into the database table without adding the model for that?

E.g. I have a table customers. And I haven't created a model for that. Can I add a record into that table bu doing "cust=Custome.new cust.save"

Any help appreciated. Thanks, Tushar

You can't do Customer.new unless the Customer class is defined. Otherwise how would ruby know what to do? All you need is models/customer.rb containing

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base end

Provided the customer table meets the normal Rails conventions (primary key id and so on).

If you don't want to create a model you can use straight SQL with ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute. I would create the model, though. It would be the hell of a lot simpler and cleaner.

The model was used for controller connected database.Otherwise, you can use straight SQL with ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute.I would like to use model
