Hi,

New version, 1.5.0, of IBM\_DB ruby gem, the Rails adapter/ Ruby Driver  
for IBM Data Servers, is now available. This release of the gem  
enhances the performance of the Ruby driver for IBM Data Servers on  
Ruby 1.9, by making non-blocking database calls in a transparent  
manner. With this feature you can now get the real benefit of Rails  
threaded support and connection pooling with IBM Data Servers. A  
single copy of Rails with IBM Data Server can handle multiple  
concurrent database requests simultaneously.

So what more to wait for, go ahead and grab your copy of the latest  
gem from [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=2361](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=2361) and give it a try. As  
always keep your comments and feedback flowing in through the rubyibm  
forum [http://rubyforge.org/forum/?group\_id=2361](http://rubyforge.org/forum/?group_id=2361)

Thanks

Praveen
