We probably need to have a sinatra web server where different clients through different sessions each have different databases but with the same tables. If I have an active record class such as MyFoo, it would be ideal for it to be for table foo on either db1, db2, etc. If I have MyFoo1 and MyFoo2, I can set MyFoo as a constant to each of those ie MyFoo = MyFoo2 (MyFoo on database 2), but every time I am in a new session I have to delete the old constant and set it to the new one. I am not sure that is the only way. I guess I could somehow write a class MyFoo that uses method_missing and then figures out the correct active record instance, but not sure if there was an easier way ? my test program: ==================== require "rubygems" require "active_record" require ''sqljdbc4.jar'' ActiveRecord::Base.configurations["mtmdb"] = {:adapter => "jdbc", :url=> ''jdbc:sqlserver://10.93.31.331;databaseName=mt'', :username => "", :password => "", :driver => "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver", :autocommit => true} ActiveRecord::Base.configurations["test"] = { :adapter => "jdbc", :url=> ''jdbc:sqlserver://10.94.11.11;databaseName=LJ'', :username => "", :password => "", :driver => "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver", :autocommit => true } class TestdbBase1 < ActiveRecord::Base self.abstract_class = true def self.connect2db establish_connection ''test'' end end class TestdbBase2 < ActiveRecord::Base self.abstract_class = true def self.connect2db establish_connection ''mtmdb'' end end class MyTestTable1 < TestdbBase1 self.table_name = "my_test_table" end class MyTestTable2 < TestdbBase2 self.table_name = "my_test_table" end TestdbBase1.connect2db MyTestTable = MyTestTable1 rec = MyTestTable.first p rec Object.send(:remove_const, :MyTestTable) TestdbBase2.connect2db MyTestTable = MyTestTable2 rec = MyTestTable.first p rec -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
