search for: sqlbase

Hi, I am trying to extract data from a database with R in order to produce monthly statistics. I found in the R Website, the package RODBC, RSQLite and others ones which permit this kind of extraction. The database I want to be connected with is a SQLBASE 7.0 database. So, I would like to know if, using one of these package or another one, I could be able to connect with this type of database. I hope I would be understood. I am not a database specialist and, being french, my english is a little bit poor. Thanks for your response. Vincent Spiesse...

First, I''m new to Ruby, so I don''t know much about it. I need connectivity to SQLBase and I know Rails does not support it. So I need to know how do I get started in creating the connectivity to SQLBase that I need? Any help would be great! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m new to Ruby, so don''t be too hard on me. Is there a great visual editor for Ruby? Also can Ruby on Rails (RoR) work with any other databases other than the ones listed in the documentation, I need to connect to SQLBase? Can Ruby be used to create standalone Applications (like Java)? If yes, does it create native looking apps? Can it be use in Client-Side and/or Server side web development? Does Ruby have any AJAX components that are part of a WYSIWYG IDE (see first question)? Thanks P.S. It is taking me...
