RubyOnRails with MS SQL - Connectivity Error

Rails
1

Hi all…
Please help me solve the issue.
While trying to create a connection with MS SQL database in RubyOnRails,
I’m getting a ‘Deprecated …’ error. (I referenced a doc posted in net
for the same.)
System details: OS: Windows Xp
Ruby version: 1.8.6
Rails: 2.1.2
Gems: 1.3.1
RadRails: 0.7.2
Ruby-dbi: 0.2.0
Also installed the ADO.rb file and placed in
D:\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\DBD\ADO

PFB the details of the error. Please put some light on this.
** Invoke db:create (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:create
rake aborted!

A prompt reply would be appreciated.

Weird;

Whats in your database.yml?

I take it you’ve installed the sqlserver-adapter?

From a command prompt if you run ruby script\server does it die
immediately or is it only when you try to find on a model?

Cheers
Luke

I had a similiar issue but I am developing on Mac OSX, Rails 2.1.2,
ruby-dbi 0.40, and a self fork version of sqlserver adapter. I know
ruby-dbi 0.40 requires the gem deprecated >= 2.0. Maybe that’s what
you are missing too.

Hi Luke,

PFB the details in database.yml

development:
adapter: sqlserver
database: Test123
username: sa
password: test@123
host: kec4121228d

Yes, I have downloaded the sql_adapter and placed it in
<ruby_home>\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\activerecord-2.1.2\lib\active_record\connection_adapters

PFA the sqlserver-adapter. Please verify and let me know if I have
installed the correct one. All I did was placed the adapter in this
location and tried to re-connect to the remote SQL server from RadRails.

Awaiting your response to proceed further.

Regards,
Tony

Hi Luke,

I installed deprecated-2.0.1.gem I have also installed the gem dbi-0.4.0
and placed the ADO.rb file in the location :
<Ruby_Home>\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\DBD\ADO
and now I’m getting a different error as shown below:

  • Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
    ** Invoke environment (first_time)
    ** Execute environment
    ** Execute db:migrate
    rake aborted!

I have also installed the gem dbi-0.4.0

Tony,

I would stick with the older version of ADO one of the 2.x series I’m
not sure it’ll work with the new dbi.
