I work for a small university and am new to rails. We currently have
some
legacy applications written by folks who no longer work here in .NET and
the like. We are looking to rebuild these apps and are thinking about
RoR.
Our biggest concern is our database backend. We have an incredibly
complicated, convoluted, and old student information system built on
Oracle. To pull various pieces of useful information out of it we use a
lot of stored procedures.
Most of the stuff I have read on RoR seems to assume that your models
and
your database tables have a 1 to 1 relationship. We certainly do not
have
this. I’m sure it is still possible to use RoR for what we want to use
it
for, but I’m just wondering how much of a nightmare it will be to get it
to
work with these stored procedures. I am hoping that somebody can point
me
towards some documentation or just some general advice.
Thanks!
Jacob
