How would one get the information stored in rrdtool into a database that rails can present to the user? Would it be possible to combine this data with other data in the same database to handle virtual connections between the data? -Ron --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It won''t map well into SQL, so it''s probably best to just keep the files external to the "real" database. I have not yet found a ruby rrd binding, so I''ve been using a call out to rrdtool to generate my images, and putting them in the public directory so they can be linked to with the usual tricks. --Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
