A bit away from your original topic (and perhaps this belongs on the Rails mailing list), but: I'd be interested to hear if you run into any problems using AR outside of Rails. I have been writing an application (IRC game) which uses AR with PostgreSQL, and I have had uncountable problems due to the way AR connects to the database. I am constantly hitting the maximum connection limit, and stray PostgreSQL child processes are always being left around. What DB are you using? Pistos -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
