For this I use the activerecord- sqlserver-adapter. Kipping the business logic in SQL stored procedures is a product of one development school. Do not want to enter in discussion about pros and cons of that decision but itÃÔ a reality of life. Thing that bother me even more is a column naming convention that is usually used in MS SQL databases. In almost all my Models has to explicitly define a table name and a primary key name. However, I have managed to communicate with MS SQL in satisfactory faction.
