Hi all, I am new to Ruby ( and to Miscrosft SQL). I want to be able to do very basic queries from ruby to a external MS SQL databse. I have searched through the web and it seems you have to jump through hoops to get ruby to talk to a SQL database. 1) Install freedts 2) Install sqlrelay 3) ?? I installed freedts, but I am having problems install sqlrelay (gentoo). Is there a easier way to do quieries in Ruby? Thanks, Otter -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
