Say I want to send out an email once a day to people who''s name is "Bob". Would I use script/runner in conjunction with cron? Or is there another cool(er) way now? Thanks, Joe

I want to use ActiveRecord outside of Rails to do processing on large tables. I want to be able to process the rows as they are retrieved rather than having to store the results in an intermediate array. Any suggestions? Looks like I could hack the adapter to provide an accessor to the underlying DBI handle. Anything cleaner than that?
