Hi Esteban, gencer left quite an email, but I figured I’d chime in too.
Sequel was my savior about 14 years ago when I needed a project (which was in Rails at the time) to talk to two databases, the second of which was MSSQL. Rails didn’t handle this particularly well at the time, but Sequel handled it without complaint. Like gencer, I’ve found Sequel to be a joy to work with, so I’ve never had a reason to consider migrating *to* ActiveRecord. Over the past several of years, I’ve been working in other languages in addition to Ruby, which of course have other ORMs. Sequel is the standard to which I hold all of them, which is dangerous, because it is just so damn good. To answer your question, though, my big issues with Sequel are usually understanding parts and pieces of it. Once upon a time, I didn’t understand how to utilize eager loading, nor why you shouldn’t use your model in a migration. Well, and that it’s ruined other ORMs for me. -Joe > On Aug 29, 2022, at 5:03 PM, Esteban <evan.richa...@safehub.io> wrote: > > I just joined a startup that's been using Sequel instead of ActiveRecord, and > I'd never heard of Sequel before joining.
