I want to create an internal admin view to display the output of "show variables" from mysql. What's the best approach do this?
For example, I'm doing something like this:
@variables = ActiveRecord::Base.find_by_sql "show variables;"
Then, I get stuff like this back (227 elements in @variables) in script/console:
>> @variables[0] => #<ActiveRecord::Base:0x3296eec @attributes={"Variable_name"=>"auto_increment_increment", "Value"=>"1"}>
However, I'm not sure how to get Variable_name and Value; do I access this as a Hash element? An attribute?
Should I create a custom Model class such as this? class MySql < ActiveRecord::Base
Thanks in advance.
Try something like:
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all "show variables"
