As mentioned in a thread going on at the same time as this one,
ActiveRecord is not Rails. It can be run alone and can be installed
as a gem ("gem install activerecord"). I suppose it could be
considered a rail, or maybe a tie . . .
In any case, it does have an SQLServer adapter. See
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/ConnectionAdapters/SQLServerAdapter.html
for available methods and some compatibility caveats.
If you are dead-set against running ActiveRecord, it might still be
useful to check out how the adapter connects using WIN32OLE and DBI.
