Description

A Microsoft SQL Server adapter for DataObjects,

Features/Problems

This driver implements the DataObjects API for the Microsoft SQL Server relational database.

Problems with MRI implementation (unreleased):

• Relies on DBI's support for either ADO or ODBC with FreeTDS
• Has no tests and no data type conversion yet

Synopsis

Examples of usage:

# default port (using SQL Server Express Edition)
DataObjects::Connection.new('sqlserver://user:pass@host/database;instance=SQLEXPRESS')
# port specified (using SQL Server Express Edition)
DataObjects::Connection.new('sqlserver://user:pass@host:1433/database;instance=SQLEXPRESS')

@connection = DataObjects::Connection.new("sqlserver://john:p3$$@localhost:1433/userinfo")
@reader = @connection.create_command('SELECT * FROM users').execute_reader
@reader.next!

Requirements

This driver is provided for the following platforms:

• JRuby 1.3.1 + (1.4+ recommended).

Code for the following platform is in the repository, but is still under EARLY DEVELOPMENT and is neither RELEASED or SUPPORTED:

• Ruby MRI (1.8.6/7), 1.9: tested on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows platforms.

Additionally you should have the following prerequisites:

• data_objects gem
• do_jdbc gem (shared library), if running on JRuby.
• dbi gem, if running on MRI.
• On non-Windows platforms, unixODBC and FreeTDS libraries.

Install

To install the gem:

gem install do_sqlserver

To compile and install from source:

• For MRI:
• Installation of do_sqlserver is significantly more involved than for other drivers. Please see the accompanying INSTALL.markdown.

Then:

sudo gem install do_sqlserver

For more information, see the SQL Server driver wiki page: http://wiki.github.com/datamapper/do/sql-server.

Developers

Follow the above installation instructions. Additionally, you'll need:

• rspec gem for running specs.
• YARD gem for generating documentation.

See the DataObjects wiki for more comprehensive information on installing and contributing to the JRuby-variant of this driver: http://wiki.github.com/datamapper/do/jruby.

To run specs:

rake spec

To run specs without compiling extensions first:

rake spec_no_compile

To run individual specs:

rake spec SPEC=spec/connection_spec.rb
