I just ported my Rails app from OSX/Linux to Windows XP for the first time. I am running PostgreSQL 8.0 and the postgres-pr 4.0 adapter. Some of the queries in my Rails app work, but for others I get a weird error: ArgumentError: Invalid Ruby/cstring: select sa.name as activity_name, max(sah.created_at) as created_at from site_activity_histories sah, site_activities sa where sah.user_id = 17 and sah.site_activity_id = sa.id and sa.viewable = true group by activity_name order by created_at desc ...<snip>... c:/development/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:88:in `log'' c:/development/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:137:in `execute'' c:/development/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:351:in `select'' c:/development/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:118:in `select_all'' c:/development/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:431:in `find_by_sql'' Obviously, I am not getting this error in OSX/Linux. Anyone have any ideas what is happening? Is there a better postgres adapter for Windows? thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
