I''d like to be able to display which db is the active db as I have a couple of development databases that I switch between, and I''d like the interface to remind me which one I''m dealing with by displaying some of. Can someone point me somewhere where I can have it show me the name of the database that''s being accessed?

You could do it like this:
require ''yaml''
config = YAML.load(File.open(''config/database.yml''))
config[''development''][''database'']
Cheers,

SITE_YAML = YAML::load(ERB.new(IO.read("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/site.yml"), nil, ''-'').result) SITE_YAML_ENV = SITE_YAML[RAILS_ENV] So assuming you switched that over to database.yml then you could spit out SITE_YAML_ENV[''database''] and you''d have your current database... -philip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
