I’m trying to use ActiveRecord::Migrate using the frontbase adapter.

I get the following error, as previously reported for the Oracle adapter  
a while ago. Seems that the select\_rows method isn’t implemented in the  
adapter. I did some extensive web and forum searches but wound up  
completely empty-handed. Is anyone using this anymore?

I would very much appreciate any suggestion on what would be the best  
way to fix this. I’m pretty new to Ruby and RoR so please be gentle 🙂

Thanks,  
Tony

Please, can anyone point me in the right direction where to look or what  
steps to take to get select\_rows in the frontbase adapter working?
