Subject: Using a result as a constant object?

Hello,

I am trying to understand how I can use a return from a method as a constant name for a class.  What I am trying to do is take a return I find in a db table and use that name as a class name so that I can use activerecord.  I admit my understanding of ActiveRecord is extremely immature so perhaps I am using it wrong.
...
perMatrtix = subMatrix.find[:space].to.upcase

class perMatrix < ActiveRecord::Base; end

blah, blah, blah...

So the return of the find, which is a name (turn to upper) as the name of a class so that I can access that table within the database.

Any help is greatly appreciated!  Cheers,
Phy
