When Rails 2.0 was released they mentioned putting the commercial  
database adapters in their own gems named activerecord-XYZ-adapter.  
Of the previous commercial adapters, I can only see the activerecord-  
interbase-adapter using “gem list -r activerecord”

I am particularly interested in the MS SQL Server adapter, where is  
it?

Thanks!

gem list --remote --source [http://gems.rubyonrails.org](http://gems.rubyonrails.org)
