Compare with:

raw_connection()

Provides access to the underlying database driver for this adapter. For example, this method returns a Mysql2::Client object in case of Mysql2Adapter, and a PG::Connection object in case of PostgreSQLAdapter.

This is useful for when you need to call a proprietary method such as PostgreSQL’s lo_* methods.

Active Record cannot track if the database is getting modified using this client. If that is the case, generally you’ll want to invalidate the query cache using ActiveRecord::Base.clear_query_cache.
