similar to: Separate databases for reads and writes?

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? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory alternative." --- E.Taft Benson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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. To make the things clearer: Postgres: 1 database shared by all customers with these tables: - user - vehicle - driver Firebird: several databases with different names and identical

Hi, My application spans 2 (or more) databases for some very specific reasons... My models are working fine, even dynamically establishing connections as needed at runtime, and spanning relationships across the databases (which really impressed me). The problem is, I can''t seem to force Units for these models (that use a secondary db) to load their fixtures into and use the

Hello Rails community I cannot seem to find via Google what I had hoped would be a simple issue On a single DB system (currently, postgres 8.1.4), I have two databases, each containing multiple tables. I would like to configure my app and database.yml to recognize these two databases. What is the corrrect config for the database.yml ? Is it something like: > production: > adapter:

Hi, I read the example in http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseMultipleDatabases, it show us how to connect to other database, each time we start a new action, however, this doesn''t work while you try to connect to two different database within the same action. SO I wonder is it possible to bind to two or more database within the same action???? Thanks you very much Saiho

Hi, I really need help to understand what is happening while Rails connect to a database, (we area actually using postgresql, so my example will be with postgresql) What I understand is Rails is able to connect to different DB.

I have two databases in SQLite with the same schema. The other database was populated by an external customer and then returned. I want to use ActiveRecord to do the comparison. I am not sure of the best way to access the tables in each database with ActiveRecord models. I could change the connection dynamically whenever I want to switch between the databases, but this would seem to be clumsy

Hi Everyone, I am trying to connect to multiple databases and followed along the Recipe in Chad Fowlers ''Rails Recipes'' book (which basically is about establishing the connection in a subclass of ActiveRecord::Base, and inheriting all classes in need of this connection from this class) Chad Fowler says: "You won''t be able to instantiate an External, of course,

Hi, We have experienced some problems with ActiveRecord::Base class of Ruby-Rails. We are building a web-application based on the Ruby-rails framework and the web-application needs to access to difference databases, so we do not pre-define our database accesses in the database.yml file. In fact, we are using the ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection() to connect to our database, the function

Hello, I need some guidance. I have a need to: a) Login, validating against a "system-level" user database - no big deal, then b) Depending upon the login, select a customer database for processing. For instance, assume that my login profile lists an area of interest: cars, motorcycles or boats. Each of these has a database, with identical table formats. If my login shows my area of

Hi, I have a legacy database ''old'' and a new database ''new'' which rails uses. I set up models using old with establish_connection(old), and this works well, except for include: class OldModel < ActiveRecord::Base establish_connection(old) end class NewModel < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :old_model end a = OldModel.find :first NewModel.find(:all,

Hi all, I have a legacy table which I cannot get to work with ActiveRecord (no ids etc). All I want is to create a class which opens a connection manually and allows me to execute some plain SQL statements. What I can''t figure out is how to either build up a connection and execute queries from a non-AR inherited class, or how to create a AR-inherited class minus all the AR magic and

Hi everyone, I was wondering what the common practice for handling multiple db users with fine grained privileges on multiple databases is. Against the often read guideline for rails users to keep with a single db as "more dbs don''t really make sense anyway", my opinion is that it DOES make sense to use more than one db schema for a number of reasons that I won''t

Hello all. I am currently running a very simple ruby app. It connects to an Oracle server using the OCI8 adapter.

Hi, I am creating a Rails front-end for a legacy application. For this application the username and password for the database must be provided by the user. i.e. each session needs a separate connection to the database using the credentials of the user logged in to that session. Does anyone have any idea where to even start? It seems like Rails won''t boot without a database
