How can I do this in rails?
There's nothing special going on here. When you view the page in your web browser, the server-side software constructs an HTML (using information from the database), and sends the HTML to your browser. That HTML document is complete and makes sense by itself; it has no reference or connection to the database that the information originally came from. It is just like a static HTML file. So when Googlebot visits the web page, it gets the same, normal HTML document, and it caches that.
