I would suggest using TinyTDS for the connection. https://github.com/rails-sqlserver/tiny_tds http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2011/modern-sql-server-rails/
As of the latest version, we support :host/:port options alleviating the need for the freetds.conf file. If you are using the latest 0.91 (soon to be released) version of FreeTDS, then it supports encryption for the connection using SSL, which TinyTDS supports as well. About the only thing I can think of that would stop you from using TinyTDS is if heroku supports it. They have a form to fill out to request gems that have native extensions on their support site. Maybe worth asking. - Ken -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group. To post to this group, send email to heroku@googlegroups.com.
