But how does derive from ActiveRecord solve my problem? I want to
instance an object of the model i generated and that in an file that
isn't a controller, since i do this only one time.
The inheritance from ActiveRecord will allow you to add new objects easily. Create a custom rake task in lib/tasks file.
Here you can create the model objects using the data from the website and call create on each model object which would save the record in the DB. You can call this rake task immediately after rake db:migrate which would populate the database.
Also, there are some gems which will create a seeds.rb file from an already populated database. Then you don't need to crate a custom rake task and call rake db:seed
