Hi Ike,
I think Rails running on UniData would be pretty cool, however you
cannot do it out of the box right now. You can access UniData using
SQL, for example using JDBC/ODBC so the first step would probably be
writing a db adapter for it, maybe this could help:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/New+database+adapter
Also, there might be some quirks with the SQL UniData takes, so that
has to be accounted for. I haven''t used it for a long time but there
is something non-standard in the way @ID (the default primary key
column) is handled in UniData. Also, if you are wanting to access any
legacy tables (ie anything with multivalues), you''ll have to do the
necessary mapping or go through a stored procedure.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
Thanks,
Abdullah
