ruby sql-query good practice

[Rcmn 73]

what is the equivalent in ruby of that PHP code ?

<?
$sql = "select * from mytable";
$result = mssql_query($sql);
while($row = mssql_fetch_array($result)){
$array[] = $row[0];
}
?>



so far i have :

require 'dbi'
db = DBI.connect("DBI:ADOrovider=SQLOLEDB;Data
Source=myserver;Initial Catalog=mydb;User Id=myuser;Password=;")
sql = db.prepare("select* from mytable")
sql.execute

while row=sql.fetch do

p row
end


I'm just interested in a good practice to store in an array from an SQL
query.

sql.finish

if you just want the first column of all rows:
(you should probably only select that one, but anyway)

----------------------------------------------------------------
require 'mysql'

class Mysql::Result
include Enumerable
end

db = Mysql::new("myserver", "myuser", "", "mydb")

array = db.query("SELECT * from mytable").map{|row| row.first}

db.close
----------------------------------------------------------------

btw: anyone knows why the "include Enumerable" isn't there at
the first place?

cheers
