If you get a Rails exception ActiveRecord::DangerousAttributeError then you'll find it's because one of your attributes is using a name reserved by Active Record. Particularly when the attribute has the name of one of Active Record instance methods.
For me I was using owner_id as a custom foreign key. A quick change to owned_by_id and all was fixed.

What version of rails?
I'm using 2.1.0 on one of my apps and when I used connection_id as a model attribute, I got no such error and had to spend hours figuring it out.
