ActiveRecord -> Microsoft Access?

[rpardee]

Hey All,

I need to munge some data in an msaccess database file & am wondering
if it's possible to point ActiveRecord at such a beast. Does anybody
know? Looking over at the rails framework docs, there doesn't seem to
be any mention of msaccess specifically. I don't suppose there's a
generic ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapter that I could pass a
DBI:atabaseHandle into somehow, is there?

Thanks!

If you look on the wiki, there is a bunch more documentation.
This page has a list of all the currently implemented Database Drivers
and some requested ones.

http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/DatabaseDrivers

At the moment it looks like ActiveRecord does not support access
through JET or ODBC but those are requested features.
Another place to look for rails features not in the main release is the
developer site

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/

Sometimes there are desired features available as patches, but they may
or may not be stable.

It looks like you can't use ActiveRecord for this. There might be other
packages available though.

Thanks for the pointers!

Bummer that there's nothing done on that so far. Ah, well...

Thanks!
