Merb devel - Aug 2007 - Does anybody know why activeRecord is not built on top of ruby-dbi?

I am curious about the opinionated opinion behind the decision.Was it
performance? Complexity? Databases support or something else.

I recently used Ruby:dbi and liked all the metadata that comes with the
data.
Performance looked good but I didn''t benchmark it so I don''t
know which one
execute faster.

If I am not wrong Ruby:dbi offers true parameters binding which would be
nice to have.

Let me know if anybody knows why.

Thanks

Diego Scataglini
