I am considering trying out Firebird 2.0.1 with my Rails app. I currently use MySQL. I am told that Firebird offers good performance/ features, and is free to use under any circumstances (project contributions aside) unlike MySQL. I have managed to get my Rails app to talk to a Firebird DB through use of the Fireruby gem, but it was necessary to first set up links - e.g. "ln -s /usr/lib/libfbclient.s0.2 /usr/lib/libfbclient.so.1" - to overcome a problem whereby the require_gem ''fireruby'' was complaining that it could not find shared object file libfbclient.so.1. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any other approaches that I may have overlooked? I would also be grateful for people''s experiences with Firebird and Rails. Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
