Just out of interest, what was your problem with JRuby?

I had a similar issue with an Oracle RDB database running on VMS that only
has .NET (beta) and JDBC drivers. So I went with JRuby using
activerecord-jdbc and it has been working rather well for me. A few minor
issues here and there, but nothing major.
