hi to all,

it is posible to use activerecord-jdbc with the jdbc-odbc bridge?

i have problems to use ajax\_scaffold. i get an error message, that the  
driver is unable to choose type for date from(list of datatypes)

my database.yml look like

development:  
adapter: jdbc  
driver: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver  
url: jdbc:odbc:ac43demo  
username: ac\_odbc  
password: ac\_odbc

i have modified the environment.rb like

require ‘rubygems’  
gem ‘ActiveRecord-JDBC’  
require ‘jdbc\_adapter’

any ideas???

thx

Achim
