Request for update to starter kit on Linux
Posted: Nov 08, 2008 07:45:23 PM

Hello,

Are there any plans to provide an updated Rails starter kit for DB2?

The starter kit creates more problems than solutions.

It references depricated variables and options.

I'm wondering if anyone is using it now?

Thanks.

in response to: geecee's post

Given that RAILS_CONNECTION_ADAPTERS went away, the IBM gem is no longer called "ibm_db2", and that the minimum software requirements have changed, I recommend skipping the "Toolkit for DB2 on Rails" and to start learning about the "ibm_db" gem here: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyibm

N.B. The unwarranted license of DB2 Express-C is currently limited to using 2 processor cores & 2 GB of memory. However, it's still a better option than "Oracle XE".
