I thought about reusing the abstract adapter from ActiveRecord but I wasnt sure David would find this a good idea :) Anyway it really is no big deal to write database adapters. If other people think that something like you propose is interesting I could actually do it. > Rails lacks that tuns me off about it... while you are at it, why dont you have a look at Nitro too, there are lotsa changes coming really soon, but I would appreciate your opinion and suggestions. best regards, George Moschovitis
