------ art_9238_28095577.1196722317433 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I have a database that has only JDBC connectivity but I need to interact to this database from Ruby. What's the best way to do so? All ideas and suggestions are welcome. My initial thought is to create a Java program that accepts connection information and a SQL statement and execute the SQL against the database. Assuming that I have this program, what's the best way to call this Java program from Ruby? I looked at JRuby and didn't feel that's the right answer.
