My higher level objective is to develop a way to move particular database entries from my development platform to my staging platform and then to my production platform. Unfortunately, there may be reasons to go the other way as well. And, these entries have "owners" and also are interconnected. So, not only does Foo have a belongs_to :user in it, it also has has_many :dogs, etc. Thus most fields will just move over but the id fields and the foreign keys will change.
One approach is some outside SQL process. A second approach is to have sever 1 contact server 2 via ActiveResource to move the records over. I've not used ActiveResource before. It would seem to be easier to do that if server 1 could contact server 2 on behalf of the current user instead of a specific "admin" user. That is mostly what I'm asking with this email: is that possible and if so, can you point me to the documentation on how to do it? A third approach would be to tell ActiveRecord to open a new database connection to the other server and move the records that way. If anyone has any other suggested approaches, that would be great as well.
