[Hello Guy]

Hello all,

i have a class Inpatient with his attributes like name, address, etc.

i want to catch the inpatient data from database, how i can do this?

i want add inpatients when i give the name, and so all attributes of
this
inpatient should come from database.

i hope i could define my prolem.

how can i implement this with ruby?

What you want is usually called ORM: Object-Relational Mapping, which
is a way to map data from a database into objects in a programming
language. In Ruby there are several implementations, you should check
some of them and choose one that suits your project. The most popular
ones (as perceived by me are ActiveRecord, Sequel and DataMapper.
You can use google to find documentation about those.

Hope this helps,
