Dear JRuby Developers: TUDBC provides a new paradigm and clean and unified interface to virtually any JDBC drivers in JRuby. Further more, the codes are fully compatible with Ruby and IronRuby, so that you don't need to change the codes when you switch between all three flavors of Ruby.
Introduction I would like to introduce the new exciting TUDBC (Truly Unified Database Connectivity) to you, which brings both high performance and high productivity to database access. Currently, it supports * 4 programming languages with the same unified coding style for C#, Java, PHP (including Quercus), and Ruby (including three flavors: original Ruby, IronRuby with ADO.NET, and JRuby with JDBC). There is plan to expand to other programming languages, including C, C++, Perl, Python, etc. * All major DBMSes: Access, DB2, Derby, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, plus text CSV and Excel spreadsheets. Even though TUDBC works for multiple platforms, the performance is not sacrificed because it is using a new paradigm and caching technique. One performance comparison shows that it is close-to-the-best and the best in various settings. On the website (http://www.tudbc.org), you will find interactive live demos and source codes for all 4 languages. There are also videos of demos and tutorials, including one that shows you how you can use TUDBC to create a simple web application in 2 minutes. Please share this great news with your colleagues. Thanks! TUDBC http://www.tudbc.org
