 Because this adapter is primarily coded to SQL Server 2000/2005, it does not take advantage of many of the things in 2008 that would speed up the code. At some point in the future there will be a branch of this code that is specifically targeted for 2008. That adapter version will remove much of the dirty innards of this version that are meant to code around many previous SQL Server 2000/2005 short comings, the biggest being no limit/offset.

 ==== Date/Time Data Type Hinting
 
 Both SQL Server 2000 and 2005 do not include native data types for just 'date' or 'time', it only has 'datetime'. To pass the ActiveRecord tests we implemented two simple class methods that can teach your models to coerce column information to be cast correctly. Simply past a list of symbols to either the <tt>coerce_sqlserver_date</tt> or <tt>coerce_sqlserver_time</tt> methods that correspond to 'datetime' columns that need to be cast correctly.

 This implementation has some limitations. To date we can only coerce date/time types for models that conform to the expected ActiveRecord class to table naming convention. So a table of 'foo_bar_widgets' will look for coerced types in the FooBarWidget class if it exists.

 ==== Executing Stored Procedures
 
 Every class that sub classes ActiveRecord::Base will now have an execute_procedure class method to use. This method takes the name of the stored procedure which can be a string or symbol and any number of variables to pass to the procedure. Arguments will automatically be quoted per the connection's standards as normal. For example.
 
   Account.execute_procedure :update_totals, 'admin', nil, true

 ==== Native Data Type Support
 
 Currently the following custom data types have been tested for schema definitions.

 ==== Auto Connecting
 
 By default the adapter will auto connect to lost DB connections. For every query it will retry at intervals of 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 seconds. During each retry it will callback out to ActiveRecord::Base.did_retry_sqlserver_connection(connection,count). When all retries fail, it will callback to ActiveRecord::Base.did_lose_sqlserver_connection(connection). Both implementations of these methods are to write to the rails logger, however, they make great override points for notifications like Hoptoad. If you want to disable automatic reconnections use the following in an initializer.
 
   ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SQLServerAdapter.auto_connect = false

 == Versions
 
 It is our goal to match the adapter version with each version of rails. However we will track our own tiny version independent of ActiveRecord. For example, an adapter version of 2.2.x will work on any 2.2.x version of ActiveRecord. This convention will be used in both the Git tags as well as the Rubygems versioning.
 
 
+
 == Installation
 
 You will need Ruby ODBC. If you are using the adapter under 1.9, then you need at least ruby-odbc version 0.9996. ODBC is the preferred mode, however if you are using IronRuby you can use the ADONET connection mode which uses native System.Data connection. Other connection modes may be supported, possibly a straight FreeTDS layer. The sky is the limit now and we have a code that can be accept these optional transports. If you are interested in helping, open a ticket and submit a patch. Or start a conversation on the Google Group.

 == IronRuby ADONET Mode
 
 A few details on this implementation. All that is needed in your database.yml configuration file is "mode: adonet" vs "odbc" and if you are running IronRuby, the connection will be native. You can also specify an "integrated_security: true" option in your configuration, remember to remove the username/password options too. To use this adapter, you will not need need ANY DBI middle layer or special extension gems to the adapter.
