Hi I''ve created an ADO.NET implementation for DBI but I may have overlooked some stuff. At the moment it''s living on google code http://code.google.com/p/ironruby-dbi There is an extra colon in the connection string required to make it select the correct data provider. DBI.connect("DBI:ADONET*:MSSQL*:Data Source=(local);initial catalog=mydb;user id=sa;password=topsecret") Feel free to test and tell me what''s wrong with it :) I''ve only tested it against SQL Server.. This should make implementing the activerecord adapters for rails a little bit easier because in many cases it''s just a matter of changing the connection string of an existing adapter (at least that''s what I''m hoping for).
