You're probably going to get more takers on the ruby-talk list, rather
than rails-talk. We're all very busy with our integrated framework,
rather than trying to build a connection to a database with stone
knives and bear skins. (kidding about that!)

You've got a database handle (dbh). Before you close it in your
script, use it to issue a SQL command to the server, like this:

res = dbh.query("SELECT name, category FROM animal")
while row = res.fetch_hash do
printf "%s, %s\n", row["name"], row["category"]
end

This is all from here: http://www.kitebird.com/articles/ruby-mysql.html#TOC_7
