Hi there,

i got a small problem when connecting to my firebird database:

config/database.yml:  
29 myfirebird:  
30 adapter: firebird  
31 database: /var/firebird/database.gdb  
32 username: SYSDBA  
33 password: masterkey  
34 host: my.server

app/models/customer.rb:  
1 class Customer \< ActiveRecord::Base  
2 Customer.establish\_connection ‘myfirebird’  
3 # def self.table\_name() ‘kunden’ end  
4 end

strangly my controller gives me:  
wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active\_record/connection\_adapters/firebird\_adapter.rb:15:in  
`initialize' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/firebird_adapter.rb:15:in `new\_from\_params’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active\_record/connection\_adapters/firebird\_adapter.rb:35:in  
`firebird_connection' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:145:in `connection\_without\_query\_cache=’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active\_record/query\_cache.rb:54:in  
`connection=' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:106:in `retrieve\_connection’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active\_record/connection\_adapters/abstract/connection\_specification.rb:20:in  
`connection' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:931:in `add\_limit!’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active\_record/base.rb:924:in  
`construct_finder_sql' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:395:in `find’  
…/script/…/config/…/app/controllers/dns\_domain\_controller.rb:15:in  
`list' ../script/../config/../app/controllers/dns_domain_controller.rb:4:in `index’

Dont’ wonder because it is dns\_domain\_controller.rb, in there i do a  
@customers = Customer.find :all  
so it is initated from there 🙂

any solutions? 🙂 thanks!
