parse only seem to understand US date format
I''ve tried Time.parse() and DateTime.parse() but they interpret the date as US format. Is there any way to tell it to interpret as dd/mm/yyyy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

String date parsing
Does anyone know if a Ruby package has been written to handle functionality similar to php''s strtotime(). I''m looking for something that can parse almost any string (such as "1 day ago", "+1 week", "last tuesday") into a timestamp. I''ve played with ParseDate, but it doesn''t seem to do what I need. Any suggestions? Derek

Performance suggestions or best practices ideas?
Any suggestions on applications that involve alot of calcualtions on a fairly large data set?

A ranked list along with detailed metrics is generated. The end user can manipulate some of the rules and assumptions to generate

How to change ActiveRecord date format conversion
I am using custom control for entering a date on the form. My date format is dd.mm.yyyy and this is also what the control returns to program. But ActiveRecord expects date to be formated as mm.dd.yyyy and thus saves wrong value to database. I have implemented method which corrects date fields prior to save to database, but it is clumsy. There must be a solution to configure ActiveRecord so it

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
