class ActiveRecord::Result - activerecord-4.2.3 Documentation

# class ActiveRecord::Result

This class encapsulates a Result returned from calling `exec_query` on any database connection adapter. For example:

    result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.exec_query('SELECT id, title, body FROM posts')
    result # => #<ActiveRecord::Result:0xdeadbeef>

    # Get the column names of the result:
    result.columns
    # => ["id", "title", "body"]

    # Get the record values of the result:
    result.rows
    # => [[1, "title_1", "body_1"],
          [2, "title_2", "body_2"],
          ...
         ]

    # Get an array of hashes representing the result (column => value):
    result.to_hash
    # => [{"id" => 1, "title" => "title_1", "body" => "body_1"},
          {"id" => 2, "title" => "title_2", "body" => "body_2"},
          ...
         ]

    # ActiveRecord::Result also includes Enumerable.
    result.each do |row|
      puts row['title'] + " " + row['body']
    end
