Hallo – I’ve installed the activerecord-sqlserver-adapter gem, but I’m  
still getting an error when trying to connect to a SQL Server database  
that I was connecting to just fine before I upgraded.  
Can anyone help me fix this?  
It’s for a working enterprise app that has been being used for over a  
year, and I need to commit changes!  
Thanks alot for taking the time to read this – the error I get is  
below.  
Doug.
