Re: What is the best way to interact with a JDBC database

Actually, I haven't tried Jruby except reading about it. I am using Ruby as
a glue to put together all the tasks I need including Database access, File
I/O and all the stuff that comes with a heavy duty batch programming. It's
my understanding that JRuby doesn't provide all the classes and I would like
to avoid using JRuby just for this requirement of accessing a JDBC database.

Just out of interest, what was your problem with JRuby?

I had a similar issue with an Oracle RDB database running on VMS that only
has .NET (beta) and JDBC drivers. So I went with JRuby using
activerecord-jdbc and it has been working rather well for me. A few minor
issues here and there, but nothing major.

Hi,

I have a database that has only JDBC connectivity but I need to interact
to
this database from Ruby. What's the best way to do so? All ideas and
suggestions are welcome.

My initial thought is to create a Java program that accepts connection
information and a SQL statement and execute the SQL against the
database.
Assuming that I have this program, what's the best way to call this Java
program from Ruby?

I looked at JRuby and didn't feel that's the right answer.

Regards,
