How can I configure Ruby and Ruby on Rails for use with MS SQL Server
2005?

Environment:

  • Ruby 1.8.6-25 (windows)
  • Ruby on Rails 1.2.3
  • ruby-dbi 0.1.1 (installed with dbi,dbd_ado)
  • OS: Windows XP Professional sp4
  • Database: MS SQL Server Express 2005 (bonus and on MS SQL Server

I have attempted to use the following definitions:

development:
adapter: sqlserver
database: event_development
username: sa
password: password
host: DBI:ADO:Provider=SQLNCLI;Data Source=localhost;Initial
Catalog=event_development;User Id=sa;Password=password;

development:
adapter: sqlserver
database: event_development
username: sa
password: password
host: localhost

development:
adapter: sqlserver
database: event_development
username: sa
password: password
host: localhost
mode: DBI:ADO
provider: SQLNCLI

Any help will be appreciated!

Hi Joe,

I haven’t used ADO but have been successfully using ODBC to connect to a
mssql server. This is how I created the connection:

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection( :adapter => ‘sqlserver’,
:mode => ‘odbc’,
:dsn => ‘MyDSName’,
:username => ‘bob’,
:password => ‘bob’)

I added bob as a local user (maybe domain users also work) and created
the ODBC connection called MyDSName.

Cheers,
Mark

development:

adapter: mssqlclient

adapter: sqlserver
database: mydb
host: localhost # or myhost.at.com
username: myName
password: myPwd
charset: unicode

This was my configuration back when I was testing some stuff. My problem
was that all number type fields (real, double, fix…) were returned as
null and it was useless for me.

You can also try mssqlclient.
