Hello again, I''m receiving, I think, a collection, and each element of the collection have some attributes and values, and all of them are the same. Here is the result in a debug(@result) - 5: PERIOD 0: "1" period: PERIOD partner: PARTNER reporter: REPORTER 6: INDICATORS 1: REPORTER 7: INDICATOR_VALUE product: PRODUCT 2: PARTNER indicator_value: INDICATOR_VALUE id: "1" 3: PRODUCT flow: FLOW indicators: INDICATORS 4: FLOW - 5: "199952" 0: "2" period: "199952" partner: EU27_INTRA reporter: EU27 6: VALUE_IN_EUROS 1: EU27 7: "70417621" product: "89011010" 2: EU27_INTRA indicator_value: "70417621" id: "2" 3: "89011010" flow: "1" indicators: VALUE_IN_EUROS 4: "1" This is what I have in the controller: c = ActiveRecord::Base.connection @result = c.execute(params[:expert_command]) render :partial => "expert_mode_result", :layout =>false I''m sending some SQL commands, and I don''t know what the user can enter, so I have to retrieve the attributes for creating the labels of the columns, and then the values of each attribute. I''m using this <%= @result.each {|key, value| puts "#{key} is #{value}" } %> but I''m getting all the values and attributes for each element, and I can''t add <td></td> etc. etc. I''m reading the Ruby manual but still don''t know how to accomplish this ... thanks, rai -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
