rails active records returning wrong class type

i created a new model in rails with the following commands:

rails g model prod_domain name:string type:string user_logon_name:string description:string email:string address:string company:string department:string dn:string sa_description:string is_sa:string sa_remap_description:string ownership:string comment:text

rake db:migrate

i added some function in the model like this:

class ProdDomain < ActiveRecord::Base

  def self.search_by_id(keyword)
    users = Array.new
      ProdDomain.where(id: keyword).find_each do |user|
      users.push(user)
    end
    return users
  end
  def self.search(keyword)
    users = []
    ProdDomain.where(dn: keyword).find_each do |user|
      users.push(user)
    end
    users
  end

end

however, when i try to find records in this model, i kept getting 'USER' class instead of 'ProdDomain' class, what am i doing wrong:

(byebug) ProdDomain.find(1).class

ProdDomain Load (0.4ms) SELECT prod_domains.* FROM prod_domains WHERE prod_domains.id = 1 LIMIT 1

User(id: integer, email: string, encrypted_password: string, reset_password_token: string, reset_password_sent_at: datetime, remember_created_at: datetime, sign_in_count: integer, current_sign_in_at: datetime, last_sign_in_at: datetime, current_sign_in_ip: string, last_sign_in_ip: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, username: string, role: integer, dn: string, department: string, name: string)

It looks like you have a type column defined. In Rails the type column is used by default for indicating inheritance. If you're not intending on using inheritance then you can rename the column (something like kind is common) or you can overwrite the column name that Rails will use Base.inheritance_column.
