That's pretty much what I have been planning. There are two issues I
need to watch out for though:
1) The connection string can specify all sorts of extra parameters
(dsns, file dsns, etc), I don't want to remove that for people who
might need it, so the option to specify a 'dsn' must remain (shouldn't
be a problem)
2) FreeTDS may require different connection parameters than ODBC
through windows. I don't even know if it accepts a full connection
string. I'd like to be able to specify the following in config.yml,
and connect from windows/mac/linux with minimal extra work:
development:
adapter: sqlserver
database: queen_is_dead
user: morrissey
password: shoplifters of the world
server: smiths1
