And the error you got was very clearly from the ActiveRecord library, 
which is part of Rails.

Rails is a web framework written in Ruby. Obviously you will be writing 
.rb files when writing applications in Rails.

But Rails is not Ruby, and this mailing list is not about Rails. Many, 
perhaps most, of the people on this mailing list are not at all 
interested in Rails. Hence questions about Rails are generally 
off-topic, given that there are other forums and mailing lists which 
*are* dedicated to Rails.

Good advice here:
