This class encapsulates a result returned from calling #exec_query on any database connection adapter. For example:

result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.exec_query('SELECT id, title, body FROM posts')
result # => #<ActiveRecord::Result:0xdeadbeef>

# Get the column names of the result:
result.columns
# => ["id", "title", "body"]

# Get the record values of the result:
result.rows
# => [[1, "title_1", "body_1"],
      [2, "title_2", "body_2"],
      ...
     ]

# Get an array of hashes representing the result (column => value):
result.to_hash
# => [{"id" => 1, "title" => "title_1", "body" => "body_1"},
      {"id" => 2, "title" => "title_2", "body" => "body_2"},
      ...
     ]

# ActiveRecord::Result also includes Enumerable.
result.each do |row|
  puts row['title'] + " " + row['body']
end

each()

Calls the given block once for each element in row collection, passing row as parameter.

Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.

end
empty?()

Returns true if there are no records, otherwise false.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 72
def empty?
  rows.empty?
end
first()

Returns the first record from the rows collection. If the rows collection is empty, returns nil.
