I found the rails console and learned that you can do blackmagic such as:

```plaintext
DB.exec(<<~SQL)
  UPDATE topics
  SET title = 'psql redo!'
  WHERE id = 886
SQL

```

How do I find out what commands/functions can be executed in the console? How do I learn more about this wizardry?

Note: if not already obvious, I know nothing about Ruby or Rails.
