Hi All, I am running into a little issue the ODBC adapter: rails: 1.2 ruby: 1.8.4 ODBC ruby binding: .0997 Rails ODBC adapter: 1.4 I have added the ruby bindings to the /ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt and used gem to install the ODBC adapter I updated the enviroment.rb when I run ruby -e ''require "odbc"'' it appears to correct (no error response) 1. Is my understanding correct the Rails ODBC adapter will abstract the SQL calls the same as the current Adapter does when a native DB is used? 2. Also, how do I configure the database.yml to use the new ODBC driver? Any help is greatly appreciated. Error output below: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specificati on.rb:14: undefined method `cattr_accessor'' for ActiveRecord::Base:Class (NoMethodError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.r b:10 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/odbc-rails-1.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/odbc_adapter.rb:27 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/odbc-rails-1.4/lib/odbc_adapter.rb:28 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:33:in `require'' from C:/3.0maintrunk/ocsuite/webui/config/environment.rb:30 ... 6 levels... from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1-mswin32/bin/mongrel_rails:83:in `run'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1-mswin32/lib/mongrel/command.rb:211:in `run'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1-mswin32/bin/mongrel_rails:243 from c:/ruby/bin/mongrel_rails:18 Thanks again!!! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Rick, You can find detailed installation and configuration information at http://odbc-rails.rubyforge.org. After installing the gem, enable loading of the adapter by editing your Rails project''s config/environment.rb script: * Add a require to your config/environment.rb immediately after the line require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ''boot'') i.e. require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ''boot'') require ''odbc_adapter'' You''ll need to define an ODBC DSN for your data source, then reference this in your database.yml file. Your database.yml file should contain something similar to: development: adapter: odbc dsn: b606_vos_localhost_rails_dev username: rails_dev password: rails_dev emulate_booleans: true trace: false with a similar entry for your test: environment. The emulate_booleans entry isn''t needed if the database has a native BOOLEAN type. See the ''Usage Information'' and ''Database Specific Notes'' sections of http://odbc-rails.rubyforge.org. The odbc-rails gem includes detailed RDoc information. (Run gem_server and point your browser to http://localhost:8808 to see the local RDoc documentation) Also, ensure you set the RUBYOPT environment variable: set RUBYOPT=-rubygems Otherwise you may see a "undefined method `cattr_accessor''" error message.
