My issue is more related to a theoretical mismatch because AR encodes MySQL semantics specifically -- which are *broken* semantics (MySQL is not SQL92 compliant because SQL92 explicitly states that case-sensitivity in identifiers is only achievable with quotes around the identifiers). In practice, with a putative Oracle connector to AR, AR simply won't work, because Oracle's metadata tables always return the data in uppercase -- unless the table name is quoted. MySQL is a bad model -- it doesn't actually do much of anything right.\ -austin > On Nov 24, 2004, at 9:24 AM, Austin Ziegler wrote: > > > On Wed, 24 Nov 2004 22:58:09 +0900, George Moschovitis > > wrote: > >>> do, maybe it's worth considering that ActiveRecord is not not the > >>> only > >>> ORM in the Ruby sea, and that any of those other ORMs would probably > >>> love to have you as a user/tester/maybe-patcher. > >> is there a similar problem with the Og ORM library?
