In my company, an electronic publishing organization, we are moving to MarkLogic, an XML Native database (or contentbase, as MarkLogic prefers calling it). After working with it for a few months, we are certainly not going back to any relational dbs, be it Oracle or SQL Server. With that in mind, John, would you please look at the thread called "IronRuby and MarkLogic" (last updated by me 32 days ago) when you have a chance and check out why John Messerly's patch was not kept in the latest releases...thanks! Meanwhile, I switched to using IronPython for my MarkLogic development since it works just fine...but it would be great if I could use IronRuby... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
