Subject: ruby, rails, maxdb


Hi all;

being about to take a deep dive into ruby/rails (wanted to do this quite
some time ago already) for developing a small intranet application, one
short question: Around here we're running the GPL'ed SAP MaxDB to serve,
well, SQL for several inhouse applications, and I'd like to connect
ruby/rails to that database. I see there obviously is a working ODBC
implementation for ruby, and the MaxDB linux/odbc drivers work pretty
reliable. Only thing bugging me is that, looking through the rails
documentation, I only see database adapters for mysql, postgresql,
sqlite, oracle, sqlserver. Is there a way to use odbc / MaxDB instead? I
don't mind using postgresql, but this would be, say, the "least best"
option. ;)

Thanks in advance and have a great new week everyone
Kris
