Retrieving created_at value in Rails?

Is there a way I could retrieve created_at value from the Database in Rails?

The table has columns like ticket_created, ticket_updated. By default a created_at column is also included. If I try doing:

  @tickets = Ticket.find(:all)

  for ticket in @tickets
    puts ticket.created_at
  end

the above code is returning ticket_created instead of the automatically generated created_at

The sample database row looks like this.

id |开发者_Go百科 title | link | key | summary | priority | status | created_at | updated_at | ticket_created | ticket_updated

Try this to really put yourself at ease that the two columns contain different values.

Ticket.find(:all).map {|t|
  {:attributes => t.attributes,
   :created_at => t.created_at,
   :ticket_created => t.ticket_created}
}.inspect

Then try t.created_at == t.ticket_created to make sure they aren't equal and then lastly, rename the ticket_created column to something_else and see if that does the trick.
