I’m using last jruby release with rails 2.0.2 and activerecord-jdbc-adapter.
#gem install rails activerecord-jdbc-adapter
Then copy Firebird-jdbc-adapter.jar into $JRUBY_HOME/lib
Configure your rails application database.yaml like that:
development:
adapter: jdbc
username: sysdba
password: masterkey
driver: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver
url: jdbc:firebirdsql:localhost/3050:database.fdb
NOTE: database.fdb is an alias. In order to setup an alias you have to config aliases.conf located on your firebird configuration folder and do something like that:
#/etc/firebird2/aliases.conf
database.fdb = /databases/myblog/myblog.fdb
That’s all you need to work with firebird and rails.
