Testing ActiveRecord in console

[JZ]

How to import and test ActiveRecord using Interactive Ruby Shell? It is not
clear how it shoud be used and I do not know how even to start, eg. how
import module, bind to database etc. (I am used to pythonic interpreter
console.) Is it possible to use Active Record outside of Rails?

look at script/console from your rails dir.

Yes, script/console is great if you have a Rails environment set up,

Scroll down to the "ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters" in the Classes
frame to find connection parameters for your database.
