Hello,

I have this code:

     28  dbh = get_connection
     29  res = dbh.exec("select max(ogc_fid) from #{table};")
     30  max =  res[0]
     31
     32  puts max

Which successfully prints the SQL query to the terminal.  I want to be able
to use the result later in the code, but I'm not really clear what type of
object is being returned.  How can I figure out what is being returned and
convert it to an integer or a string?

Thanks,
