Hi,
I am attempting to get code working that connects to a MS SQL server
from a Linux web server. My testing in irb works, but when I try it in
rails I have no such luck. Sorry about the long post.
I have install and tested FreeTDS (works), and unixODBC (works). I
have a working ODBC connector called CTEL.
I have also installed RubyDBI and RubyODBC. I tested those by starting
irb1.8 and executing the following code:
require “dbi”
dbh = DBI.connect(‘dbi:ODBC:CTEL’, ‘usrename’, ‘password’)
sth = dbh.execute(“SELECT Org_ID FROM Org”)
while row = sth.fetch do
print row
end
sth.finish
(Where username and password are the correct values.) It works
perfectly and prints out all of the Org_IDs. So, it looks like I have
all of the prereqs workings and life is good.
However, when I start working in rails things don’t go as smoothly. My
database.yml looks like:
ctel:
adapter: sqlserver
mode: odbc
dsn: CTEL
username: ************
password: *************
My model is legacy_customer.rb:
class LegacyCustomer < ActiveRecord::Base
establish_connection :ctel
set_table_name :Org
set_primary_key :Org_ID
end
Next I open up script/console and type “test = LegacyCustomer.new” and
get the following:
DBI::DatabaseError: INTERN (0) [RubyODBC]No data found

Any ideas on what I could do from here?
Thanks for the help,
