Re: [PhillyOnRails] Initialize ActiveRecord w/o a database.

Adam, thanks for the response.

Taken out of context, my question doesn't sound so complicated.  The 
question revolves around how to initialize ActiveRecord, not the 
connection.  From my previous post:

Yes; I would like to establish a new connection using 
"ActiveRecord::Base#establish_connection."  I can't, because the entire 
stack dies first, because ActiveRecord is trying to connect to 
'config/database.yml.'
