For example, when I entered some content into the database I used <% link_to ...%> for the links but when the actual page is displayed it doesn't execute this code. The view just prints it out literally.

Is there a way to make the view execute ruby code that is stored in the database when the field containing it is displayed?

Hi Anrake,
You can execute ruby codes given in database with the help of stored procedures.
Eg:-
CREATE PROCEDURE mydb.my_stored_procedure()
BEGIN
$$ Insert Ruby Code $$
END
The stored procedure can be called from the rails application by executing the Call function
eg:- CALL my_stored_procedure()

Anrake,
You might also try render :inline. I'm currently using this in a lot of places (probably more than I should be). For example, a page with some HTML/Erb content:

<p>Check out my awesome <%= link_to 'blog', blog_path %>!</p>
# app/views/page/show.html.erb
<%= render :inline => @page.content %>

Haha, I just started doing this and it's great fun. You can use Ruby's 'eval' method to execute a string as Ruby code. The second argument, 'binding', determines what context the code will execute in. You can try it in the console:
$ script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0)
>> s = 'foo'
=> "foo"
>> eval "s='bar'", binding
=> "bar"
>> puts s
bar
=> nil
>> exit

Thanks guys! render :inline seems to work best for me.
