I'm using SQL Server as my database for my Rails project. I'm trying to create some models to use for a 3rd party database and only want to read from this database. So I made a view of the table I wanted to create an object for and then I wanted to point my active record model to it. However, in rails console I don't get back expected results. The only example that gives back some correct information is when I do a count
on the object as shown in Example 3 below.
I'm using the following gems to connect to my SQL Server:
gem 'tiny_tds'
gem 'activerecord-sqlserver-adapter'
Also I have installed freetds-dev 0.91-6build1
Example 1
2.2.2 :004 > Game.all
Game Load (268.7ms) EXEC sp_executesql N'SELECT [games].* FROM [games]'
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Game >, #<Game >, #<Game >, #<Game >, #<Game >, #<Game >, #<Game >, #<Game >, #<Game >, #<Game >, ...]>
Example 2
2.2.2 :001 > Game.first
SQL (1.1ms) USE [Incoming]
Game Load (1.8ms) EXEC sp_executesql N'SELECT [games].* FROM [games] OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY'
TinyTds::Error: Incorrect syntax near '0'.: EXEC sp_executesql N'SELECT [games].* FROM [games] OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY'
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: TinyTds::Error: Incorrect syntax near '0'.: EXEC sp_executesql N'SELECT [games].* FROM [games] OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY'

...

Example 3
2.2.2 :008 > Game.count
(4.7ms) EXEC sp_executesql N'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [games]'
=> 12541
