similar to: Ackbar 0.1.1 - ActiveRecord Adapter for KirbyBase

= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS. Because KirbyBase does not support SQL, joins or transactions, this is not a 100% fit. There are some changes to the ActiveRecord interface (see below), but it may still be useful in some cases. = URIs Ackbar: http://ackbar.rubyforge.org KirbyBase:

Sorry for the long Subject line, but I couldn''t figure out what else to call it. :-) Just a quick announcement to tell you that I have worked through Chapters 6 and 7 so far of "Agile Web Development with Rails", using Ackbar/KirbyBase to develop the Depot app instead of MySQL. You can find my blog about it at: http://houseonfire.wordpress.com For those who

I''ve found vague mentions of various attempts at creating an ActiveRecord adapter for the KirbyBase pure Ruby DBMS, but nothing which looks like it''s actually working. Anyone know of such an adapter that is functional and available? b

Hi, i''m just starting to develop an active_record db adapter for an in-memory oo database (purple). This will obviously require quite some work in the Base class of active_record and so I''m wondering if anyone has done this already? After some searching I found the ackbar adapter for kirbybase db. And while I sure will be lifing code from there, I''d really imagine

Hi All, Just a quick note on a new release of Pimki: The Wiki-based PIM to GetThingsDone! Pimki 1.8.200 is a bug fix release: accumulated bug fixes plus an explicit dependency on Madeleine 0.7.1 (the new 0.7.2 is incompatible). Important note: this release is still based on the Pimki 1.x branch. Snapshots from previous versions of Pimki and Instiki up to 0.9.2 should work fine. Work on Pimki2

Has anyone come across any interesting ways to make rails apps easily distributable to run on a local machine. I''d love to be able to "bundle" my rails app into a single file that would contain a simple webserver, database and my rails app which a non-experienced user could then download install on their machine, go to a web browser and run the app locally. I envision it

I''ve been reading up on Berkeley DB and I''ve been refelcting on the Rails philosophy and it just seemed to me like the two should go together hand in glove. Rails seeks to abstract the programer from squirrely database coding which is great. My only problem is that you''re still left with a large component, namely the databsase server (MySQL, PostgreSQL..etc) which

Hi, I''ve been playing around with using DBI instead of ActiveRecord ''cause I just love to beat myself up! ;) Is this an okay way to do this, or is there any other more creative ways? require ''dbi'' module MyApp:Models class DB def self.dbh DBI.connect(''DBI:Mysql:dbname'', ''username'',

hello, is the instiki project still being developed? it seems the web site is down for a couple of weeks now, and almost no activity is going on on the developer mailing list. on a related note, are you aware of other actively developed rails-based wikis? many thanks in advance.

I would like to have a wiki that uses Markdown as the markup language (or something very close), I've currently used PmWiki and I really like it but there are some problems with using Markdown so I'm interested to see if there is an alternative that works better for me. I've looked at wiki matrix and searched for and found the following list bitweaver, DekiWiki, DokuWiki, Friki,

Hello, I was reading the pickaxe book and then I arrived to the chapter "When trouble strikes" in the Benchmark section. I have this code: #!/usr/bin/ruby -w require ''benchmark'' include Benchmark LOOP_COUNT = 1_000_000 bm(12) do |test| test.report("normal:") do LOOP_COUNT.times do |x| y = x +1 end end

Kevin, Very cool. I initially tried to figure out how to do it without those evals, but I failed (thanks for picking up the slack :) Your changes definitely improved the code, and made it much cleaner. Thanks. By the way, what is pickaxe? I''m not familiar with that term. _________________________________________________________________ Free up your inbox with MSN Hotmail Extra

OK, I''m once again talking about my future almighty isbn loader. I have written quite all the ruby code I need and, using a basic test, checked it works. Now, I''me having issues running the code. When I run webgen, I got the following error : C:\Documents and Settings\Maison\Bureau\nicolas-delsaux.is-a-geek>webgen C:/Documents and

I am furiously trying to find what I am looking for in Pickaxe book and not finding it. I''m getting some values back from a posted form and I need to get the ''id'' number off the backend. The ''String'' will always come back to me as... Some_name\r\n123 where 123 is actually the id number which I need to execute the find. The reason they are coming back

I''m using this: <% words = article.content.split(/ /) %> <%= words[0..20] %> to (ostensibly) split a paragraph into component words, with spaces in between, then print to html only the first 20 items, words and spaces. I got this (split(/ /)) from the online pickaxe book at http://rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_string.html#String.split . The problem is, the resulting array
