Yeah, that's it. Is there a way to get the connection
handle other than just picking a random table/model and
backing into it from there? Like:
Author.connection.tables
Which would be the exact same thing as:
Book.connection.tables
as long as "authors" and "books" were both in the same db.
Not really important now, I'll just do it the above
way, but it seemed a little inelegant and I couldn't
find a better way. Just curious.
Thanks.
