I’m writing a Ruby extension for accessing an Informix database  
server. It isn’t finished yet, but is already usable. It can run any  
query, prepare statements, create cursors and supports some data  
types.

More information and a working example of use can be found here:

Testers welcome. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Looking forward to using it with Rails (Waiting for your AR adapter 😉  
)
