I'm interested in using ActiveRecord (AR) to build an API to a glorified file catalogue with ~35 million and counting entries. It's really an MD5sum catalogue with extra information granules about each file to support web services like interaction. Firstly, I'm not a computer scientist; just a hacking physicist with a little OOP experience. In addition to AR for ORM, I'm planning to use MySQL partition tables of type InnoDB.
In a private email, David H. said this combination looks compatible: Ruby 1.8.6 or 1.8.7, AR and AS 2.2.2, MySQL 2.7 and MySQL Server 5.1.x. I'm trying not to bother David directly, for this related question. The problem is that our admins will not install Ruby 1.8.6 or AR/AS 2.2.2, instead I'm allowed to have these versions "managed" by the RedHat package manager: Ruby 1.8.5, AR/AS 2.1.1. I plan to take advantage of simple implementations of these built in technologies: transactions, callback macros, validation, association, aggregation, etc Are there any obvious problems with my setup?
