Yes, it can live with a SQL database. You'll need to tinker with a couple of Rakefiles but otherwise it's no problem. Google is your friend. If you consume Rails-style RESTful web services with ActiveResource, then that'll be super-easy. If you want to consume XML-RPC or SOAP web services, then that can be done too but you'll stray further from the ActiveRecord idiom. That needn't be a problem. Generally, Rails is great at consuming all kinds of web services. -- Roderick van Domburg http://www.nedforce.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
