Rails - Jan 2006 - pointer to standalone ActiveRecord example?

I''m seeking pointers to example code (ideally complete, small
programs) in Ruby that use ActiveRecord without Rails.

An added bonus would be if they happen to connect  to SQL Server, but
I''ll take what I can get.  Mainly I just need a jump-start to using
ActiveRecord outside Rails.

Thanks much.

I can''t *point* to any examples, but I just happened to be working on
one
right now.

It''s quite simple:

require ''author'' # Your model which inherits from
ActiveRecord::Base
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection (
            :adapter => "mysql",
            :host => "host",
            :username => "username",
            :password => "password",
            :database => "database"
        )
Author.find(:all)
ActiveRecord::Base.remove_connection()
