you would need to do WhatToDo.find_by_sql(sql) with a capital W at the start?<br />

This would define the model.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have many classes (models) called (something)Configuration. <br />
<br />
I have a variable named &quot;whatToDo&quot;<br />
<br />
Where whatToDo = &quot;sendConfiguration&quot;<br />
<br />
What I want to do is &nbsp; &nbsp;whatToDo.find_by_sql(sql)<br />
<br />
It works if I write it sendConfiguration.find_by_<wbr />sql(sql) but not whatToDo.find_by_sql(sql) where whatToDo = &quot;sendConfiguration&quot;. Is there a method that finds a class from a string?

Find class from string

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.
