Hi, I use Rails on windows. Is there any sample that explains how to setup rails for connecting to an ODBC data source? Thank you, Alan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The wiki page doesn''t mention a Rails adapter, nor does the last link on the wiki page. -- Alex
I did my homework and I knew about that link. The problem that I cannot figureout is that we already have ODBC connectivity in ruby installation at this location: C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\DBD\ODBC Why do we need to install ruby-odbc-0.997.tar.tar again?
