[Rails-core] ActiveRecord-JDBC is approaching

2006-11-04 Thread Charles O Nutter
The ActiveRecord-JDBC adapter is rapidly maturing these days. I got the full set of AWDwR2 migrations to run with it against MySQL last night, and Ola Bini has gotten migrations working well against Oracle and Firebird. We also have SQL Server support running most of our test cases (under non-Windo

Perhaps taking a wiki approach would be a better way to target this fundage? I'm thinking about doing this with RubySpec...get the community contributing to the wiki, using the money as "prizes" for the top contributors. I think it's important that documentation efforts like this involve a larger c

[Rails-core] Pure-ruby adapters and future of JDBC adapter

2006-06-30 Thread Charles O Nutter
I know there are pure-ruby adapters for various databases in Rails, maybe even for all supported databases. We're working to get Rails running well under JRuby, and since we obviously can't use C extensions I would like to know where I can find pure-ruby adapters to play with. We also, naturally, h

I would vote for inclusion; I have seen, been taught, read about, and used far more databases with underscore-delimited identifiers than with any other scheme. It is still my preferred table naming scheme and I doubt I'm the only one. You can't support all schemes, I understand; but underscore-deli

I've posted a couple different patches to ticket 4440, and as far as I can tell they resolve all nonstandard block syntax throughout the rails/railties module. I would be very interested in helping to move this forward, since JRuby currently requires this patch for Rails to work. What's the next st

JVM-based language depends on it. However, we continue to wrestle with how best to support unicode without stepping on the Ruby community's toes in the process. Thoughts? -- Forwarded message --From: Charles O Nutter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: Jun 14, 2006 7:11 PM Subject:

Re: [Rails-core] Are you a kilobyte or a kibibyte person?

2006-06-13 Thread Charles O Nutter
I'd also think an alias to kibibyte is reasonable but making kilobyte return 1000 is going to be counter-intuitive to most programmers. I'm not really sure what value a base-10 Numeric#kilobyte has, either, since it's just a boring old power of ten. Maybe the powers of ten are not significantly "we

2006-06-11 Thread Charles O Nutter
I'll jump in to say that we on the JRuby team are also very interested in finding a way to support unicode. We're close to running Rails in more general scenarios, and obviously running on top of the JVM we have the potential for unicode support out of the box. However, we have held off providing a
