Subject: Inserting data from an array into an ms access 2000 table

Good Afternoon,

I am trying to figure out how to get data from an array into an access
table.

On the rubyonwindows site I found the following code:

db = AccessDb.new('c:\Baseball\lahman54.mdb')
db.opendb.query("SELECT * FROM AllStar WHERE playerID =
'conceda01';")field_names = db.fields
rows = db.data
db.execute("INSERT INTO HallOfFame VALUES ('Dave', 'Concepcion');")
db.close

This code works fine if I break the array up into seperate elements but
I think there must be a simpler way.

this is how the array is built:

    class <<Array
          def multi(n, *args, &block)
                  if args.empty?
                    Array.new(n, &block)
                          else
                            Array.new(n) do
                            Array.multi(*args, &block)
                          end
                  end
          end
    end
card=Array.multi(24,24)


so the question is; How do i get the data loaded into this array into my
access table called wps in a database wps.mdb?

I have been trying to do something like this:

db.execute("INSERT INTO wps_test VALUES('card [$h]');"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
