I have been tinkering with RoR and JRuby for about a year to create simple internal applications. I am working on my first "real" application that will be deployed for use on the internet and have some questions on proper deployment using RoR (2.2.2), JRuby (1.4) and MySQL (5.0.x).
(I will be deploying everything to a hosted Tomcat/MySQL environment) I can easily enough use Warbler to create a WAR file and deploy that to Tomcat. I also setup a MySQL server on the hosting machine as the app is configured to use MySQL. The part that is causing me heartburn is getting the DB schema up to the hosting site. As a workaround for the initial release I simply used mysqldump to export the entire schema and base data. I then used the mysql command interface to load the sqldump into the server. This works well enough for now, but what is the "right" way to deploy the database schema and migration updates over time? While the app is in use over the next 3 months I will be building the "admin/reporting" interface to it so I suspect I will need to modify the schema in some way long after the app is in use and loaded with real data. I appreciate your time and assistance with this question! --Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
