However, there is another solution, and is use TinyTDS, which provides the lower layer access to SQL Server by using FreeTDS (the cross platform library for SQL Server) https://github.com/rails-sqlserver/tiny_tds TinyTDS has replaced the ruby-odbc backend used by Rails with great results and less problems. Since you're posting on a Rails group, most likely you're using Rails, so the SQLServer adapter (which wraps TinyTDS) will be of help: https://github.com/rails-sqlserver/activerecord-sqlserver-adapter In the Wiki there are comments about the pros of this alternative: https://github.com/rails-sqlserver/activerecord-sqlserver-adapter/wiki Hope that helps. -- Luis Lavena -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
