Rails - Feb 2008 - Rails 2 without a database?

I''ve written a RESTful web service using Rails 1.2 and now I''m
trying
to upgrade to Rails 2.0, but it seems to insist that I have a database
configured. Previously I had the following code in
config/environment.rb and that seemed to be sufficient:

  def config.database_configuration
    class << ActiveRecord::Base
      def establish_connection(spec = nil)
        nil
      end
    end
    nil
  end

After the upgrade, running rake test:units results in a
ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished because the abstract connection
adapter in AR was trying to retrieve the current database connection.
So overriding establish_connection no longer appears to work in Rails
2.

Then I saw that adding this to environment.rb would apparently do the trick:

  config.frameworks -= [ :active_record ]

But alas, doing that causes missing dependencies for active_support
and other plugins, so that won''t work either.

Aside from biting the bullet and using sqlite, is there a way to
configure Rails 2 so that it will not use a database?

Thanks

That works fine for me - i''ve got two databaseless applications.  
Presumable you don''t need any plugins which require AR so you could  
just remove them ?
