When I'm in the Rails 3.2 console, I can do this just fine:

p = Person.last
p.last_name

and it prints the last name.

But when I try to find it by the id, it's able to locate the single record and store it in my variable p, but I can't print the last_name column. For example:

p = Person.where(id: 34).limit(1)

printing p here shows all the columns but p.last_name says this

NoMethodError: undefined method `last_name' for
#<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x000000055f8840>

any help would be appreciated.
