Hi. I am experimenting IBM DB2 Express as a back-end for Radiant. Results are encouraging so far. Some problems needed tweaks to the ibm_db adapter for rails or to environment settings (see tracker on http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyibm/ for details). People at IBM have been very responsive. Though more complicated to set up vis-a-vis mysql or postgres, db2 has native support for xml, and this is the reason why I am interested in using it in rails. I propose the following patch to radiant/app/models/archive_finder.rb in order to support db2 specific syntax for date fields:
def extract(part, field) #puts ActiveRecord::Base.connection.adapter_name case ActiveRecord::Base.connection.adapter_name #start of patch when /ibm_db/i format = case part when /year/i "YEAR(#{field})" when /month/i "MONTH(#{field})" when /day/i "DAY(#{field})" end format #end of patch when /sqlite/i format = case part when /year/i '%Y' when /month/i '%m' when /day/i '%d' end "CAST(STRFTIME('#{format}', #{field}) AS INTEGER)" when /sqlserver/i "DATEPART(#{part.upcase}, #{field})" else "EXTRACT(#{part.upcase} FROM #{field})" end end Luca Erzegovesi -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@lists.radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
