I’d like to use railroad on my Rails model. Unfortunately, as I have to
make some connections to a second database I’ve got some models like
this:
class LegacyDb < ActiveRecord::Base
establish_connection “legacy_db”
end
class LegacyDbData < LegacyDb
set_table_name “data”
end
This is fine for the occasional call to the “data” table but railroad is
not at all happy:
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:188:in
log': Mysql::Error: Table 'legacy_db.legacy_db_data' doesn't exist: SHOW FIELDS FROM
legacy_db_data` (ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid)
There are a few of these models and they’re used in various places so
removing them for running railroad is not really possible. Is there a
means of either preventing railroad from trying to connect to the main
application database for these models?
Thanks for any suggestions.
