Kirk, what do you think about starting a Wiki to collect requirements and /

covered by DBI right now.

I will do that. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll follow up to the list
in
about a week with wiki and initial project information.

I’ve believed, for a couple years, that we need a DBI2.

Just to add my voice in approval, in addition to which I’ve
sent you a private message offering help. I’d love to have
a better basis on which to build my ActiveFacts library,
instead of relying on the adapters of ActiveRecord.

I’m also running a BOF session on support for Enterprise
and Legacy databases at the RailsConf next week. Hopefully
some of you will be there to discuss things and maybe help
out on the panel.

Sequel seems to be more oriented towards ORM, competing with
ActiveRecord.

True. Of course, ActiveRecord can issue low-level queries and return
results. You don’t have to use it’s high-level ORM layer. That almost
makes it a viable alternative to the DBI, though some features are not
present or well exposed from the lower-level.

Last I checked ActiveRecord still did not handle bind parameters, which
means it’s regenerating the execution plan every time it executes a
query.
