RubyCocoa and ActiveRecord?

Hey all

I have been contemplating if it is possible to use ActiveRecord in a
RubyCocoa application? Has anyone tried it? is it even possible?

All the best

Of course it's possible, ActiveRecord ist just a normal Ruby library.
You could even try to write an ActiveRecord database adapter for
CoreData.

Sounds sweet.

I see what you mean, i managed to get in there by doing a simple
require! should have thought of that.

One thing im not quite sure about however, is how would i then handle
that connection within the application? I obviously create my connection
with

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => "mysql",
:host => "localhost",
:username => "myuser",
:password => "mypass",
:database => "somedatabase"
)

For instance, in rails, how is it that we can then call
SomeModel.find(:all) in our controller and it does not throw an error? I
know its to do with the load path, but does the same apply here?

Does it create a persistant connection to the database for the lifetime
of the application or do i need to call the connection from AR::Base
when i need it?

Cheers

Tim

PS: sorry if this seems like dull questions im just getting into the
RubyCocoa thing!

Hey Tim,

Just wanted to point you to the new RubyCocoa Wiki, which has some info
about the new ActiveRecord support in RubyCocoa.
