Hi! I''ve just started using AR on top of SqlServer 2005 (through ADO: http://www.softiesonrails.com/articles/2006/06/28/activerecord-with-sqlserver-without-rails). Not a Rails site per se, but I''m using AR and ruby to build data aggregation tools.

Hello. I reeeeally want to get Instiki running at my day job, but they are Microsoft-heads. While I can probably sell them on trying Rails, they are definitely going to want the database to sit in our SQL Server instance with our other databases. I can''t get instiki to create the tables in sql server though (I''ve added ADO.rb, and gotten a connection). When I run the
