Thanks Rob and Alex,

Essentially yes, embedded to a very thin client. I was curious if the 
community had any information regarding lite versions of Ruby, the 
database and Ruby on rails and their associated libraries. It is memory 
usage issue coupled with installation size as well.

The approaches vary from being able to have a minimalistic install and 
memory consumption size on the embedded devices to using a central site 
to remote access the lite DB. My goal at this point is to assess my 
options.

I have considered writing a simple API as well.
However, the Ruby installation is quite large. Is there a known subset 
of libraries etc that can be removed for minimal Ruby/ROR support. I 
realize other libraries would need to be determined that are necessary.

Thanks again.
