looking at the unit tests of activerecord leads me to think the db is completely responsible for auto-incrementing the id field and rails does no magic here. can someone confirm that this is a true statement? that being the case - what is the preferred way to write database agnostic sql for one''s schema since each of the dbs has slightly different syntax for this functionality... does

I''m having a problem converting a date retrieved from my MySQL database and I''m hoping someone can help. MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970". All well and good. Unfortunately, RoR is converting my date to this:

I think my rails app has a slow memory leak that degrades performance over the course of several days. I''d like to get to the bottom of it but in the meantime I''d prefer to just bandage it and force the fcgi library to start a new instance of my app every so often. Is there a clean way to do this? Calling break in the each_cgi loop causes an error. Sending SIGUSR1, which

I''ve used mysql for quite some time now. Other than crashing when the partition gets full, I''ve had no problems with it. But I''ve heard great things about postgres and have seen some people say it''s much superior to mysql. So, with a Rails application, is there any reason why I would want to learn/use another DB besides mysql? Any pragmatic benefits?

I hacked a forking FCGI dispatcher for Rails. I have no idea if this is the correct way to do it, but it seems to work fine. It improves memory usage a bit; after it is started the processes share almost 10 MB (of 12 MB total), but unfortunately it drops to 2 MB after a few requests. ===================================== #!/usr/local/bin/ruby require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hi, Installing ruby (following wiki recommandations) with darwinport, I have the following error when I want to install rails gem: /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- sources (LoadError) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'' from

line 212 of postgresql_adapter.rb is return Time.now.to_s if value =~ /^\(''now''::text\)::(date|timestamp)/ i don''t think this will work. in postgresql the field ''now'' is pinned to the SAME TIME for the duration of a transaction. eg. if you do begin transaction; insert into t values(42, ''now''); # sleep one minute

Hi all, Last night, I wrote a web-based syntax highlighter that takes Ruby and produces nice HTML of the code, ready for including on web pages, or in blog posts, or whatever. I don''t know how useful it will be for other people, but feel free to use it. Anyway, the URL is : http://syntax.carldr.com/ Any comments/suggestions would be gratefully received. Enjoy!

I am trying to install Ruby on Rails on my G5 PowerPC, I followed <a href="http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger">these</a> instructions. Everything seems to be working fine until i try to install Rails with Rubygems, then I get the following error-message: <blockquote>Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn] y ERROR:

First let me say that Rails caching is very very cool. The traffic (and responsiveness) I''ve saved by added 10 lines of ruby code would be enourmous, if I actually had traffic... ;) Sweepers as observers are great, btw. Since every page of my side is dynamic, once I did some DB optimization I''m caching the content of the index page which was taking the bulk of the time to load

Hello all, I am importing large word documents. I have a test file which is 30mb in length. I run this through a series of processes to clean it up and extract the data i need to inject bits of it into a database. The 30mb file runs fine on my Mac. But on the FreeBSD server dies with a NoMemoryError at one of the first steps, which is normalizing the file. Basically, the sequence is the user

I''m having an issue installing rubygems-0.8.11 on 2 different boxes but get the same error on both.
