Hi Gerardo,

Did you see the recent adapter extraction for Rails 2.0?

If you name the Informix adapter gem ‘activerecord-informix-adapter’
then no extra configuration is needed besides adapter: informix in
database.yml

Best,
jeremy

Hi Gerardo,

Hey Jeremy,

If you name the Informix adapter gem ‘activerecord-informix-adapter’
then no extra configuration is needed besides adapter: informix in
database.yml

Where can I find more information about how these gems should be built

I’ve got some clues from the source code:

http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/adapters/oracle/Rakefile

Which makes me ask… what should I do to see the Informix adapter
(http://rails-informix.rubyforge.org) included in Rails’ repository?

You can host it as-is, but I’d be happy to add you to the Rails
subversion repository if you’d like.

To transparently work with the new convention, name the gem
activerecord-informix-adapter and put the adapter in
lib/active_record/connection_adapters/informix_adapter.rb

I would be happy too, please do. It would be easier this way for
Informix users to be aware that support exists and to pick up the
adapter easily.

To transparently work with the new convention, name the gem
activerecord-informix-adapter and put the adapter in
lib/active_record/connection_adapters/informix_adapter.rb

Ok, I’ll write the Rakefile accordingly and commit the files in the
right path.

Thank you very much Jeremy.
