Hi! It's great to see you doing work like this to extend the reach of JRuby to new databases. While I'd like to accept your work as a token of thanks, my only concern is maintainability of the code. What I'd like to suggest going forward is one of two possibilities: 1. File an issue on AR-JDBC's JIRA: http://kenai.com/jira/browse/ACTIVERECORD_JDBC and garner community backing for the openedge adapter. If multiple independent people express their desire for the adapter to become part of AR_JDBC, I'd be more likely to include it. 2. For AR-JDBC 1.0 we're hoping to have a plugin API of sorts for adding new database support, so a project like yours could be a standalone gem that you'd simply install on top of AR-JDBC and need to do nothing further.
