this line #("users").each do |table_name| probably should be: #["users"].each do |table_name|, since string doesn't have each method.

this lines can be improved for better database resolution

sql = "SELECT * FROM %s.%s"
data = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all(sql % [ActiveRecord::Base.connection.current_database,table_name])
