Well like I said, I am trying to figure out how to use an abstract class to access a separate database. I understand why calling the object attribute is not working, what I am looking for is the proper way to interact with the separate database. If an abstract class is not the way, what is? If not find_by_sql then is connection.execute the right way? Looking for an actual solution.
Thanks.
