Greetings, I was wondering if anyone on this list has any experience using Ruby/Rails with either DB2 or SQLServer. We''re currently in the later planning stages of two RoR applications and I''m not 100% sure about the state of these two drivers. Googling for this information locates multiple sites that discuss various driver implementations (DBI, etc) for both databases. However, I can''t really glean how realistic it is to use RoR for an application that requires a DB2 (legacy) or SQLServer datasource. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott
