Of particular interest to me is using the Data Direct odbc connector to connect to a Progress database on a unix server from a windows app. I have also seen some imformation at http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/New+database+adapter If you make any progress on the subject please post. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
