No, I do actually. http://static.destiney.com/cats/cloey_slumber.jpg > I don't entirely disagree with you on this point, but the fact remains > that a huge percentage of Rails developers are on the Mac. Is this just your opinion or do you have some quantification? There are 12 web developers in my research department currently using Rails. Two use macs, one uses windoze, and the rest of us use Linux. All of us use Oracle. None of us use SQLite. > On the Mac > SQLite is installed and ready to use, along with Rails, and ruby-sqlite. > SQLite is used in several other areas on the Mac; 1: Persistent store > for Core Data, 2: HTML 5 local storage used by WebKit, etc. > > What I'm saying is that from this perspective, on this platform, Well that's great if you only care about Mac users and the Mac OS. Knowing what a small percentage of the desktop market Mac OS currently possesses, I'd say that only caring about the Mac users is a completely moronic business decision. If Rails is to ever take any enterprise market-share for it's own it needs more attention to the things enterprise developers use, and sqlite is at the bottom of that list. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
