Are there methods for the model object to get the current_user, and current_database? I was hoping that this would be available as methods from the connection object.
For example model.connection.db_user model.connection.db_name
Is there a group for ActiveRecord, where I can post this?
YourActiveRecordModel.configurations[ Rails.env ][ 'username' ] YourActiveRecordModel.configurations[ Rails.env ][ 'database' ]
This is how you can get the info from an activerecord object, if you're not using active record or if you're using a custom made solution it obviously won't work.
