I am about to start developing a Rails on my Mac for a client. The app is connecting to a legacy system that uses SQL Server. Should I follow the instructions at http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/ HowtoConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerFromRailsOnLinux or, does anyone have Mac OS-specific instructions? Thanks, Jamie O-H
Hello, I think your best option would be to use this odbc driver, http://www.actualtechnologies.com/. The full version is $29.95 and they also have a demo you can download and test. Then setup your database.yml like this: development: adapter: sqlserver mode: odbc dsn: YOUR_DB_DEFINITION_NAME username: USERNAME password: PASSWORD -- Joe Clarke http://railsplayground.com On 11/14/05, Jamie Orchard-Hays <jamie-fswG1Ka7Iew@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I am about to start developing a Rails on my Mac for a client.

That would probably be the best thing to do. If you''re *adamant* about not paying a dime and don''t mind screwing things up a few times, my G5 dev setup at work involves using FreeTDS and the supplied IODBC layer. You''ll need to use the SQLServer adapter that Tom Ward has been working on, in ODBC mode. I also can''t get the connection working with a full DSN, so I have ODBC "short DSNs" set up for each server i need to connect to. I''ll post my own notes tomorrow when I''m back at work. - james On 11/14/05, Joe Clarke <joemclarke-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hello, > I think your best option would be to use this odbc driver, > http://www.actualtechnologies.com/.

Thanks James and Joe. I am just starting down the Darwin Ports path of installing this stuff, but may divert over to the actual technologies driver and test it out. I''d found it on a search, but ignored it because of the cost. Jamie On Nov 14, 2005, at 3:54 PM, James Adam wrote:> That would probably be the best thing to do.

Jamie - just a note, I had to convert the latest FreeTDS package (0.63 at the time I think) into a dports package and install it, rather than use the existing darwin ports version... things might be better now, it was a few months ago. Anyway - best of luck! - james On 11/14/05, Jamie Orchard-Hays <jamie-fswG1Ka7Iew@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Thanks James and Joe.

I messed around for hours trying to get the freeTDS drivers to work correctly under Mac OS X and I finally gave in and bought the driver from Actual Technologies, which is very easy to setup. This was several months ago, so maybe the freeTDS drivers are easier now. James, I would be interested in hearing how you did your setup. -- Joe Clarke http://railsplayground.com On 11/14/05, Jamie Orchard-Hays <jamie-fswG1Ka7Iew@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Thanks James and Joe.

James and Joe:
Have either of you successfully used the Actual driver successfully  
with DBI? I thought I''d try that before Rails, but I keep getting  
errors and am wondering if I''ve missed a step.
irb(main):004:0> dbh = DBI.connect 
(''DBI:ODBC=thedb'',''Login'',''somePassword'')
TypeError:  is not a class/module
         from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/dbi/dbi.rb:499:in  
`load_driver''
         from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/dbi/dbi.rb:401:in

         from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/dbi/dbi.rb:381:in

Here follows a huge copy-paste of my FreeTDS/iodbc/SQLServer notes:
-----
FREETDS
Get yourself the latest build of FreeTDS (0.63 as of writing this),
and build it like so:
cd /usr/local/src
curl -O ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/freetds-stable.tgz
tar zxvf freetds-stable.tgz
cd freetds-0.63
./configure
At this point, we need to hack the generated libtool. Somewhere around
line 205 you should see:
archive_cmds="\$CC \$(if test .\$module = .yes; then echo -bundle;
else echo -dynamiclib; fi) \$allow_undefined_flag -o \$lib \$libobjs
\$deplibs \$linkopts -install_name \$rpath/\$soname \$verstring"
Basically you need to remove the \$deplibs in that line.
make
sudo make install
You can now test this by trying to connect to an MS SQL Server. To do
this, we''re using the tsql tool that is compiled along with FreeTDS:
$ tsql -H 10.9.0.95 -p 1147 -U sa
locale is "C"
locale charset is "US-ASCII"
Password:
1> use northwind
2> go
1> select count (*) as "Num" from customers
2> go
Num
91
1> exit
ODBC Administrator
----
ODBC Administrator
created by James Adam
Firstly, add the driver under the "Drivers" tab.
Then you almost certainly want to create a User DSN, with the parameters
    * Server e.g. localhost
    * Database e.g. Northwind
    * UID e.g. Administrator
    * PWD
    * Port e.g. 1147
This data gets stored in ~/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini. Any problems, you
can hack at that.
An entry should look like this:
[Redcats]
Driver      = /opt/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Description = Redcats Development Database
Server      = 10.9.0.95
Host        = localhost\TESTSQL2
Port        = 1147
Database    = redcats_dev
UID         = <username>
PWD         = <password>
TDS_Version = 8.0
I''m not sure if you need to keep the ~/.freetds.conf in sync or not,
but i tend to. You need an entry to correspond with each ODBC entry:
[global]
	tds version = 8.0
[Redcats]
  host = GBLON1SQM27
  port = 1147
....... might be useful.
