Here is a smaller example, as I am just trying to get ruby to put a sql sum of a column, based on a select statement. connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(db_url, user_name, password) sqlsame = "SELECT sum(myfield) AS sumDoc FROM " + table_var statement = connection.prepareStatement(sqlsame) rows = statement.execute_query puts sqlsame puts statement puts rows I tried those puts, to get an output, and none of them give me the sum I need. The puts sqlsame gives me the sql statement, which I can run in sql and get the right number (which in this case is 8). the 2nd two puts give me this: SQLServerPreparedStatement:7 SQLServerResultSet:7 Which means nothing to me, lol. Does this make it more simple? Thanks for responding! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
