It is not clear to me whether you need to access the data in the existing database from within a rails app, keeping the existing db format, or whether you are trying to do a one time extraction of the data from the existing database into a new one which is in conventional rails format. ( You said you cannot change the existing db, but you also said you must use the rails format in the db).
