How to copy between databases?
I want to copy data from one database to another using rails. But, it seems that rails only will talk to one database at a time. Is there a way around this?

Multiple databases + switching databases
Hello, I have an application that access two different DBMS - Firebird and Postgres. So far, that''s ok. The problem is, depending on the customer logged, a different database (Firebird) must be selected.

I like to use a model where we can inherit from one parent class that handles the connection exactly as descripted in this document : http://blogs.pragprog.com/cgi-bin/pragdave.cgi/Tech/Ruby/Connections.rdoc The only problem is that my database (postgres) seems to be asked to find this parent class, but this should not have happend !

Separate databases for reads and writes?
Hi all - New to rails... been reading as much as I can though and have yet to find a solid answer (although I think I found an unsolid negative). I''m wondering if there''s a way to split up the reads and writes in Rails so that pages/actions that don''t need to write can query from a group of mirrored databases. And my content managers can update a single master. I

after_update: old, new values?

nuby: do models have to inherit directly from ActiveRecord?
Hello, I have a few models -- book, cd, dvd -- for which I''d like to have an abstract base superclass to hold some common stuff. That abstract class, I was thinking, would inherit from ActiveRecord.

Embedding Rails in a Cocoa app.
Hi, Has anyone tried to embed rails into a Cocoa app? I have got this working to a very primitive point using RubyCocoa. After about half an hour of playing I was able to get WEBrick to serve the rails starter page inside of a Cocoa app, but that is as far as I have got. I have an idea for a client/server app where the server is a Cocoa application that embeds WEBrick (or another server solution
