I have rails on my linux laptop connecting just fine to SQL Server 2000. Why can''t I do the same with Ruby from a script or command line. More precisely, I cannot insert into a database table at all from a script or command line. (If I had to guess, I would say Rails is smarter than I when it automagically creates the sql statements.) Can anyone point me in the right direction on how creating inserts and selects correctly using TDS, ODBC drivers. Thanks!
