My Rails application requires a very busy worker process running in the background at all times. I am launching this non-interactive process using script/runner. This process is very busy and is communicating with the MySQL server constantly. As I started putting some load on the system to test, I started running into performance issues. I have since discovered that Rails is only using 1

I''m using the current release branch from the repository (version_0) on freebsd 6.1 with ruby 1.8.4. This is the error that is generated when running the code below at the bottom of the message, plus a gdb bt. Sorry no debugging symbols built into ruby but maybe the bt will help anyways. terminate called after throwing an instance of ''std::runtime_error'' what():

I''ve actually found a way to make EventMachine listen to events from a serial port, but only by using the pure Ruby version, using Guilliame Pierronnet''s Ruby/SerialPort library. It turned out to be simpler than I thought it would be: require ''serialport'' $eventmachine_library = :pure_ruby require ''eventmachine'' module EventMachine class

All: I recently wrote an LDAP library for Ruby called Net::LDAP, and I''ve noticed that quite a few people are using it to do authentication and authorization for Rails apps. I know there are several well-done login generators for Rails, but what about people that would rather use a directory? If we were to write a generator for Rails that used LDAP (or A/D) as the backend, would

Hi everyone, If you subclass EventMachine::Connection and call it outside an EventMachine::run event loop, EventMachine crashes! Example: class Put < EventMachine::Connection include EventMachine::Deferrable HOST="localhost" PORT=8080 def self.request(data) EventMachine.connect(HOST, PORT, self) {|c| c.instance_eval { @data = data } } end #

Is getsockname (or its equivalent) available to an EM Connection object? I''d like to access the local port number in my client application. --Michael

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any preferences or ideas for an interface for SSL certificates, both client-side and server-side? At present, the only interface is EventMachine::Connection#start_tls, which uses a built-in self-signed cert on the server side. On the cilent side, it accepts any well-formed cert (that is, it doesn''t check that the remote cert is signed by a trusted authority).

Hello, I have been looking at the Ruby/EventMachine. First let me say it look very good. Reactor model with no threads makes for fast reliable server, and I have read about marvelous Twisted framework for Python and am glad to see something similar for Ruby. I am writing network app with Ruby threads now and it very slow, and I try new Ruby 1.9 with native threads that make it much slower.

Hello, I need to generate a unique ID, so far I''ve unit tested this under 100000 iterations and it seems to work : now.to_i.to_s + ''-'' + now.usec.to_s + ''-'' + rand(1000).to_s Is there a better way ? Thanks Notes : 1) without usec, few percents of generated values are not uniques 2) the id generated is a string so the presence of

I am migrating to sql server 2000 from postgres and I have tried char(1), int, tinyint and bit datatypes to replace booleans, but without luck. the 1''s and 0''s are stored properly in the db, but checkboxes and dropdowns are not being auto-populated in rails. Anyone experience this before? thanx -- View this message in context:

Announcing version 0.0.4 of Net::LDAP, the pure-Ruby LDAP library. Thanks to the many people who have used this library and sent in comments, suggestions, feature requests, and patches. An even bigger thank-you to the folks who have made themselves available to help with testing. Net::LDAP has been quite stable for several months now, so we bumped the development status of the library up to

So, under Sqlite2, if I want to update a database''s schema, I have to dump the DB, modify the table''s structure, then go and modify EVERY insert statement. The insert statements look like (from memory): INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (''some_id'', ''some_val'', '''', '''', '''', ''some_other

Hi EM Gurus, I''m hoping someone can shed some light on the following... I''m using a 3rd party (legacy) server that can accept up to 8 simultaneous connections on one port. I''ve been able to make multiple connections to this server from within one call to EventMachine::run {...}. Specificaly, I can access each connection separately using: em_thread = Thread.new do

Hey all -- I''ve been using enumerable char(1)''s with ''y'' and ''n'' values for my Boolean columns in Rails, but it strikes me there should be a better way. How do you setup columns that represent true/false-ness in your schemas on Rails? Wondering what kind of standard approaches there are other than me writing something like class MyEntity

Adding a column to a table just places the column at the end, but I like to keep related columns together. Is there a way to specify where the column is added in a table with migrations? For example, in MySQL you can do: ALTER TABLE my_table ADD COLUMN new_column INT AFTER other_column I was hoping migrations would support something like this: add_column :my_table, :new_column, :integer,

I made a quick patch to em so it will try to read the key/cert from a file if it exists in the cwd, and if not use the hardcoded default. If I added a function in rubymain.cpp to set the location of the pem file, where in em would be the right place to set it? It should be in the same scope as start_tls I would think. I''m checking for the pem file in InitializeDefaultCredentials().

So i had a boolean attribute in my model which gets interpreted to tinyint(1) in mysql by rails migrations. Now tinyint(1) accepts a range in mysql and i want to change my boolean attribute to an attribute which can accept 3 values(0,1,2). I made the change to the view and when i post the form selecting the selecting the value ''2'', it still gets saved as a ''0''.

Hello, there is a table that has a column TINYINT(1) called status. Through mysql console I see its value as 1 (when is true) but if I do this in Rails console: Mytable.status => true give me "true" rather "1". How could I change 1 to true using some method? Or true to 1? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are

Hi All I am new the RoR and would like some advice on how to integrate SiteMinder authentication/authorization in my Rails app. For those who are not aware SiteMinder authenticates users and then redirects the user back to the application that requested authentication while setting response header which look something like this

Hi, Anyone got an idea of how many web and database servers I''d need to push out 10,000 dynamic pages per second? Fairly simple pages and database queries. I''d appreciate recommendations for hardware. The clients for this project are anticipating large amounts of burst traffic. Joe
