Rails - Jun 2007 - Interact with the database from a simple ruby script

Hi,

I have a simple rails application with a model. The data that needs to
be entered in the database comes from an external application which I
can parse using a standard ruby script. What would be the proper way
to handle model/database interactions from an external ruby script?
Should I use rake tasks instead?

Thanks!

JF

puts everything togheter, something like:

require ''rubygems''
require_gem ''activerecord''

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection({
     :adapter => ''mysql'',
     :database => ''mydb'',
     :username => ''user'',
     :password => ''password''
})

class MyTable < ActiveRecord::Base
end

...your ruby script that parse here...
