Sorry if this a dup, I attempted to send this earlier but it never appeared on the mailing list. If I have multiple applications deployed onto a server via Apache 2.0 and Fastcgi, is it possible to share the fastcgi processes among the apps? I know that a database connection is tied to a fastcgi process. So what if the apps use a different database? thanks in advance, scott -- -- Scott F. Walter Scott F.

The routes stuff and other parts are loaded strictly for that dispatcher of which there can be only one. -- David Heinemeier Hansson http://www.loudthinking.com -- Broadcasting Brain http://www.basecamphq.com -- Online project management http://www.backpackit.com -- Personal information manager http://www.rubyonrails.com -- Web-application framework

Friendly community petition - official IBM DB2 drivers for Ruby
This is a show of interest/community petition to IBM, requesting that IBM develops a set of Ruby drivers for the DB2 database. First up - this is a friendly petition. IBM/Grant Hutchison has been very open to this idea and is interested in forming links to the Ruby community. It would a great thing if this friendly and open approach was maintained by the community in its relations to IBM. ***** quickstart - for those in a hurry If you would like to request that IBM develop a set of "official" DB2 drivers for Ruby, send an email to ghutchis-G1DYhSM1WHTQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org with a subject line of "Friendly community petition - IBM DB2 drivers for Ruby". ***** in the Perl world In the Perl world, IBM developed and maintains the DB2 drivers for Perl. It seems logical that they should also develop a set of DB2 drivers for Ruby. ***** Michael Neumann''s valued previous work in this field Whilst Michael Neumann has done an awesome job of developing a set of Ruby drivers for DB2 http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-db2/ , the project status says Status: works (but not enough testing) , and says: Yet, only the following low-level CLI functions are available: SQLAllocHandle, SQLFreeHandle, SQLConnect, SQLDisconnect, SQLPrepare, SQLNumResultCols, SQLDescribeCol, SQLExecDirect, SQLExecute, SQLRowCount, SQLFetch, SQLGetData, SQLEndTran, SQLGetDiagRec SQLDataSources SQLColAttributes SQLFetchScroll SQLTables It would be a great thing if IBM was to build a set of drivers that are expose the full functionality of DB2, and are subject to IBM''s testing and quality assurance processes, and had the "IBM official DB2 drivers" stamped on them. IT managers and operations departments will get warm fuzzy feelings from code that uses such drivers. Building enterprise class applications using Ruby and Ruby on Rails requires drivers that ideally are developed by the database developer (IBM in this case). ***** the Ruby contact at IBM The Ruby community has been given permission to directly email email Grant Hutchison Technical Manager, Developer Initiatives - Cloudscape, DB2, Informix. Here is Grant''s email: Andrew, Please go ahead and use my name and email. I would be happy to hear more about the request for IBM to get more engaged with the Ruby community and I am the proper contact with IBM''s DB2 team to field such requests. Please suggest a common subject header so it is easy for me to handle the potential volume. Based on the response I receive I will build a proposal to get more involved. Thanks, Grant Hutchison Technical Manager, Developer Initiatives - Cloudscape, DB2, Informix IBM DB2 Information Management Software ghutchis-G1DYhSM1WHTQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org ***** so what do I need to do to express my support for IBM developing DB/2 drivers for Ruby? Simple - send an email to Grant Hutchison ghutchis-G1DYhSM1WHTQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org with a subject line of "Friendly community petition - IBM DB2 drivers for Ruby". If you''ve got more to say to Grant then put your text in the message body. thanks Andrew Stuart
