I am learning rails as I go, I am not a traditional programmer but I
am improving my skills to get a few things done. I have a solution
requirement which I can get to work on rails but I really would like
to use Hobo and I cant get it right.

I have a server several databases on it. Of the databases I need to
access some but not all of the tables. In Rails I am able to use the
following commands to access the info as explained but it doesn't work
with Hobo. They are placed in the controllers and then allow the
access to the relevant database table that I need to access. They are:

ActiveRecord::Base.set_inheritance_column :category
ActiveRecord::Base.set_table_name "cnms_admin"
establish_connection :cnms

The category is because the system uses the type column so I need to
use an alternative column since Rails uses type. The set_table_name is
obviously because I want to link that table to that controller and the
establish connection links to a specific connection in my config/
database.yml file for that database. If I add these to the controllers
it gives me the traditional blank screen when hobo is not happy. Can
anyone suggest how I can use these or do I need to use rails?

I have checked this group and googled it without much luck. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
