= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS. Because KirbyBase does not support SQL, joins or transactions, this is not a 100% fit. There are some changes to the ActiveRecord interface (see below), but it may still be useful in some cases. = URIs Ackbar: http://ackbar.rubyforge.org KirbyBase: http://www.netpromi.c...

Hi All, = What''s New This is a bug fix release. Jamey Cribbs (author of KirbyBase) has run through Active Web Development with Rails, building the Depot sample app on top of Akbar/KirbyBase. A few issues uncovered there were fixed / enhanced in this release. See the CHANGELOG for full details. You can read all about his exercise, starting at http://houseonfire.wordpress.com/200...

Sorry for the long Subject line, but I couldn''t figure out what else to call it. :-) Just a quick announcement to tell you that I have worked through Chapters 6 and 7 so far of "Agile Web Development with Rails", using Ackbar/KirbyBase to develop the Depot app instead of MySQL. You can find my blog about it at: http://houseonfire.wordpress.com For those who don''t know, I am the developer of KirbyBase (http://netpromi.com/kirbybase_ruby.html), a small, pure-Ruby DBMS that keeps its data in plain-text files and uses...

I''ve found vague mentions of various attempts at creating an ActiveRecord adapter for the KirbyBase pure Ruby DBMS, but nothing which looks like it''s actually working. Anyone know of such an adapter that is functional and available? b

...ting you easily implement paged search results in web pages or send ResultSets over DRb for processing. * ResultSet objects support a nice range or iterator or direct access methods and they can be intermixed. * Major code clean-up simplifying the memory management and API. * An implementation of a KirbyBase wrapper that indexes records on the fly and allows you to do full text search for them. Works great with the built-in DRb support of KirbyBase. There is a demo for this. * The KirbyBase extension is done without touching existing installs of KirbyBase code. I''m interested in doing a sim...

Has anyone come across any interesting ways to make rails apps easily distributable to run on a local machine. I''d love to be able to "bundle" my rails app into a single file that would contain a simple webserver, database and my rails app which a non-experienced user could then download install on their machine, go to a web browser and run the app locally. I envision it

Hi, I''ve been playing around with using DBI instead of ActiveRecord ''cause I just love to beat myself up! ;) Is this an okay way to do this, or is there any other more creative ways? require ''dbi'' module MyApp:Models class DB def self.dbh DBI.connect(''DBI:Mysql:dbname'', ''username'',

The question is this. Can I use ActiveRecord without the presence of a database? I use only YAML file for my project and I would like use the power of ActiveRecord for my models. I have not tested and so I ask you if this is possible. Thanks so much. --Reis -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been reading up on Berkeley DB and I''ve been refelcting on the Rails philosophy and it just seemed to me like the two should go together hand in glove. Rails seeks to abstract the programer from squirrely database coding which is great. My only problem is that you''re still left with a large component, namely the databsase server (MySQL, PostgreSQL..etc) which

...ere.rb with class AbstractBaseEntry locate in 01_definition.rb file. i''ve used these prefixes in order to help werbgen loading all correctly, but it does not seems to work. Is there any thinkable workaround ? Or am I doing something just plain wrong ? I believe putting all database (well, kirbybase, in my case) code in one file would solve my issue, but I fear the remedy being worst than the evil, no ? -- Nicolas Delsaux N''imprimez ce mail que si vous ne savez pas le lire sur l''?cran : les ?lectrons se recyclent bien, le papier, beaucoup moins bien.

...fuzzy searches if you use MySQL as your database (we tried switching to PostgreSQL, but that ended up adding even more problems). Ferret sounds great, but reading through the discussion it looks like we need to solve the problem of write conflicts. I just wrote a post in ruby-talk about using KirbyBase maybe to solve this. Of course, I''m hoping someone has come up with an even better solution! ;-) Anyway, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Jen

...39;'m just starting to develop an active_record db adapter for an in-memory oo database (purple). This will obviously require quite some work in the Base class of active_record and so I''m wondering if anyone has done this already? After some searching I found the ackbar adapter for kirbybase db. And while I sure will be lifing code from there, I''d really imagine the fit to be closer (that is anything but the find_by_sql really). So if anyone can give some helpful starting points, I''d be grateful. Also general tips and tricks are welcome. Thanks Torsten -- Poste...

hello, is the instiki project still being developed? it seems the web site is down for a couple of weeks now, and almost no activity is going on on the developer mailing list. on a related note, are you aware of other actively developed rails-based wikis? many thanks in advance.

I need to create a news posting system without the use of a database. I''m going to create a file for each news post and have the view post each file in a specific directory as HTML. The newspost will contain: 1. A title. 2. A date. 3. The body. In the text file, I want line 1 to be the title, line 2 to be the date, and everything from line 3 on down to the be the body. What method

Ok, this might sound bad... well, actually it is. I''m my rewrite of mongrel_rails_service and provide a uniform set of commands in the line of gem_plugin commands, found a few issues while stopping the service. Thinking that rails (1.1.2) was responsable, tested against my 1.0.0 rails app, both with the same results. Again, reverted to mongrel 0.3.8, when services was working ok, with

Hi Guys, I just started playing with camping and so far it''s pretty awesomo. After much messing around I was finally able to get Apache Passenger, Camping and ActiveRecord to PostgreSQL working. One thing I was wondering about, can I use reloader with Apache Passenger? Always having to touch/rm a tmp/restart.txt to see changes or reloading apache altogether is kinda a pain and I was
