DB2 on Rails update
Tags: db2, DB2 pureXML, db2onrails, framework, mapping, Open Source, oxm, purexml, rails, ror, ruby, xml
I’m back to fiddling around with my Ruby on Rails experiments(1)(2). I was able to create a very useful 2-way mapping between Ruby objects and xml data stored in DB2 pureXML. Basically, trying to replicate some of ActiveRecord’s functionality but for XML data. I still find it odd, though, that both ROXML and xml-mapping haven’t had much activity as of late. I’m wondering if there is any new OXM library around that I don’t know of.
Also on the same topic:
- the main DB2 on Rails website is up and running again, with a revamped design and now using wordpress instead of typo.
- a new version of the ibm_db driver was also released, containing several bugfixes. Update it through gems (gem update ibm_db) or from here: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyibm/
