Activerecord-jdbc-adapter 0.8.1 Released

Nick Sieger — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 21:57:00 +0000

The long-delayed and much-awaited 0.8.1 release is here. It fixes quite a few reported bugs (but not quite all). See the full changelog below for details.

Please help me make more frequent releases of ar-jdbc by submitting patches against the trunk of activerecord-jdbc. Test cases appreciated also.

File bugs in JRuby’s JIRA. Use the “ActiveRecord-JDBC” component when filing them.

You can check out the source here:

svn co http://jruby-extras.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/activerecord-jdbc
git clone git://github.com/nicksieger/activerecord-jdbc-adapter

Recently I started keeping a mirror of activerecord-jdbc-adapter on Github. Feel free to watch or fork and send me patches via git format-patch as well.

One of the cool new things in this release is a JDBC version of sqlite3 using the Zentus Sqlite JDBC driver. The crazy thing is how the driver is created. The original sqlite3 codebase is cross-compiled to MIPS and the resulting output coverted to Java bytecode using NestedVM! The adapter is still in its early stages, but basic stuff seems to be working. Try it out using jruby -S gem install activerecord-jdbcsqlite3-adapter.

Let me know how the release works for you!
