Hi All, Is there a way to determine the adapter type, as well as, other information on the fly for a database? For example, can you make a generic type connection to a database (assuming the db server port and/or credentials are correct) and ask the db information about itself, then based on the response configure the establish_connection accordingly? The initial generic connection would not access the actual data for ROR, but determine the information about the DB for use with ROR.
One approach is to attempt to access the DB cycling through the available adapter types until you get a response, however, this seems clunky at best. Any thoughts are appreciated. thanks for any advice, Rick -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
