title: How do you manually execute SQL commands in Ruby On Rails using NuoDB
body: <p>I'm trying to manually execute SQL commands so I can access procedures in NuoDB.</p>
  <p>I'm using Ruby on Rails and I'm using the following command:</p>
  <pre><code>ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(&quot;SQL query&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>The &quot;SQL query&quot; could be any SQL command.</p>
  <p>For example, I have a table called &quot;Feedback&quot; and when I execute the command:</p>
  <pre><code>ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(&quot;SELECT `feedbacks`.* FROM `feedbacks`&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>This would only return a &quot;true&quot; response instead of sending me all the data requested.</p>
  <p>This is the output on the Rails Console is:</p>
  <pre><code>SQL (0.4ms)  SELECT `feedbacks`.* FROM `feedbacks`
   =&gt; true
  </code></pre>
  <p>I would like to use this to call stored procedures in NuoDB but upon calling the procedures, this would also return a &quot;true&quot; response.</p>
  <p>Is there any way I can execute SQL commands and get the data requested instead of getting a &quot;true&quot; response?</p>
