What is the easiest way to get the present username, password and db name being used? Is this info being stored in an object?

I want the information to run a mysql command to export data onto server using system("')

Thanks :slight_smile:

ActiveRecord::Base.configurations will return a hash that has the information you need. ActiveRecord::Base.configurations['test'], for example, will return the DB settings for your test environment.

The constant RAILS_ENV has the current environment.
