Using rails with stored procedures

Hi all!
I am quite new to rails, and I would like to know if there is a
tutorial, or if someone can tell me how to use rails with stored
procedures and views.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to all

Views you can use as an ActiveRecord model, save, create and update
won’t work ofcourse, unless you setup your DB to support updatable
views.

I imagine you can run stores procedures with
YourModel.connecion.select_value(“SELECT myfunction()”) or something
similar.

Triggers will ofcourse work transparently through ActiveRecord, but be
sure to reload the model after a save operation as the trigger may have
caused the object to go “out of sync”, if you know what I mean.

Gioachino,

Are you using Microsoft SQL Server? If so, I think you could run
the following sql to return a recordset from a Stored Proc.:

" EXEC yourStoredProcName @param=‘value’ "

(However, I believe this will not return any OUTPUT parameters or Return
Codes)

Stored Procedures is not the rails way…

All features that make our database, [business] smart we hate…
