I am in the process of writing some scripts to convert a legacy MySQL
database to something more rails friendly. The Legacy database has a
blob field containing JPEG data which seems to be giving me some
problems (at least I think). Here is the script that I have started:
require ''rubygems''
require ''active_record''
class OldStaff < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.table_name
"staff"
end
end
OldStaff.establish_connection(
#ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => "mysql",
:host => "localhost",
:username => "username",
:password => "password",
:database => "legacy"
)
class StaffMember < ActiveRecord::Base
end
StaffMember.establish_connection(
:adapter => "mysql",
:host => "localhost",
:username => "username",
:password => "password",
:database => "new_database"
)
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
old_staff_members = OldStaff.find(:all)
If I try to run my script I get the following errors:
DEPRECATION WARNING: Reloadable::Subclasses has been deprecated and has

from convert_staff.rb:32
Ideally, after the find has been completed I''d like to create entries
in
my new database based on the specific conversions. The blob data will
be the same on the new database (unless I can find a better way to
handle this issue).
Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jake
