Subject: Re: Ruby on Rails version of osCommerce in PHP?

> ps: haven't played much w rails but is it true that active records cannot deal w (or does not know about) foreign keys and multicolumn primary keys? if not yet, it would be a great gift this coming christmas if added...

Foreign keys work just fine with Active Record, they're just not
currently dumped in the Ruby-representation of the schema (an
optional, but very nice feature). But neither are stored procedures,
constraints in general, views, etc. So the Ruby-representation is for
application-database designs that are uninterested in having a clever
database.

Composite primary keys are not supported at all right now.
