Database with hash column in rails

Question

I have an application in which I use a database that already existed and already has several data that I can not change.

I want to access this data using ActiveRecord, but the problem is that several of these models have a column called hash and ActiveRecord raises the exception:

ActiveRecord::DangerousAttributeError: hash is defined by ActiveRecord

What can I do to not override the hash method and the same time manage to access this column?

i guess that this answers your question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5909501/how-to-override-a-column-in-rails-model — phoet, Oct 24 '12 at 15:08

Have a look at the safe_attributes gem. Looks like it is built for your problem.
