I’m currently using MS SQL Server for the first time and am  
successfully connecting to a remote server using ODBC, following the  
excellent guidelines published at  
[Peak Obsession](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerFromRailsOnLinux).

I’m used to seeing lots of information in the mongrel screen,  
especially the sql commands which are going to be very important on  
this project as I’m accessing more than one database and some of the  
tables are huge.  
Currently, I’m seeing almost nothing. This is typical output:

Processing MenuController#login (for 127.0.0.1 at 2008-12-15 09:40:58)  
[GET]  
Rendering menu/login  
Completed in 6838ms (View: 24, DB: 0) | 200 OK [[http://localhost/menu/](http://localhost/menu/)  
test]

and that’s it. Considering that render was preceded by accessing and  
extracting data from 105 tables, it’s scant help.

I’m developing on Ubuntu, using ruby 1.8.6, rails 2.2.2 and mongrel  
1.1.5 in development mode. I can give details of the ODBC stack if  
that helps.

Any help gratefully received!!  
thanks  
Martin

I’ve got config.log\_level = :debug in environment.rb

Have you set the log level too high ? (config.log\_level)
