FYI, once we're further along we'll probably be lobbying the Rails team to include the JDBC adapter in core :)
A related issue here is that it's not easy to package a new ActiveRecord adapter as a plugin AFAICT, since Rails::Initializer sets up the db before any plugins, so initialization fails if it can't find the adapter. Some of the options I've come up with:
- package and distribute as a gem and manually set RAILS_CONNECTION_ADAPTERS before ActiveRecord is require'd
- same as above except distribute as a plugin; additionally you'd have to manually add the plugin lib directory to the load path ahead of time
- modify the initializer "config.frameworks" to exclude ActiveRecord during regular initialization, and then initialize ActiveRecord later. This is what I'm doing currently; see http://tinyurl.com/g4no6 for details.
