I won't hold you back, but perhaps you should think about you solution - temp tables are always strange.. Anyways,

ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::DatabaseStatements

ActiveRecord::Base.execute(sql, name=nil)

is your friend.      thanks. and I find "execute" in my "Agile" book.

However, I still don't know how to "execute" it in my controller.

if I add this line:

List.execute ("drop table if exists testtable;")    List.connection.execute should do it.
