Hi Mike,
     If you read what you wrote above more closely, it says that you could 
decompose a solution in an electrolytic cell.  This would not require DC 
current.  If you wish to reduce a metal ion to the metal, then it would be 
best if DC were used in order to collect the metal onto the cathode, but if 
the reduction potential is such that reduction occurs preferentially to 
hydrogen production (like with gold, silver, etc)  AC could be used.
