Thanks for your help! It's not really sharing the same database, but
having some models connected to a second database;
I was thinking of a web service, but there is a a lot of interaction
and using AR is just easier.. I now have:
class Remote < ActiveRecord::Base
self.abstract_class = true
config = YAML::load(IO.read("#{RAILS_ROOT}" + '/config/remote.yml'))
self.establish_connection(config[(Rails.env.production? ?
'production' : 'development')])
end
and it's working great!
A `Website` object in the Rails application has_one `Integration`
opbject in the Sinatra application, and it makes very easy to keep the
relation between the two database..
I will probably fetch the database.yml from SI to RoR; my question is:
should I do it on deployment ? Every time the RoR application is
started? onRescue trying to connect? How often and why a database can
change for my app?
I can change it to:
class Remote < ActiveRecord::Base
self.abstract_class = true
config = YAML::load(IO.read("#{RAILS_ROOT}" + '/config/remote.yml'))
begin
self.establish_connection(config[(Rails.env.production? ?
'production' : 'development')])
rescue
[fetch db.yml and reconnect]
end
end
