Hi all, I need to write an application that gets data from a database and plots it on a graph. I am familiar with java and know that I could do it with jfreechart - however I am excited by RoR and would like to write the application with RoR instead. Is it possible to write it in RoR?

Hi there, Is a web app always preferable to a ''real'' app? - or are there times when a real app should be used? I''m starting a new app and can''t decide which would be best. Is Ruby (not RoR) suitable for a real app? Chris. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, This is what I would like to do: the user selects data that they would like from the database. The app gets the data and saves it to a .txt file (or preferably a .csv file so they can look at it in a spreadsheet such as Excel) The file is saved to the users computer or the user downloads it. Is this possible with RoR? Chris. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
