Setting up Rails to work with sqlserver
I ran into the same problem yesterday. Apparently 'deprecated' is a gem, so you want to run "gem install deprecated" to grab and install the latest version. Good luck.
I used and ODBC data source and the SQL Server adapter on Windows Server 2008 against SQL Server 2000 running on a remote instance.
Install SQL Server Adapter
gem.bat install activerecord-sqlserver-adapter Successfully installed deprecated-2.0.1 Successfully installed dbi-0.4.1 Successfully installed dbd-odbc-0.2.4 Successfully installed activerecord-sqlserver-adapter-2.2.22 4 gems installedCreate an ODBC datasource
- Type: SQL Server
- Name: rails_development
- Description: rails_development
- Server: SERVER
- SQL Authentication (sa/12345)
- Default Database: DATABASE
Setup database.yml
development: adapter: sqlserver mode: odbc dsn: rails_development username: sa password: 12345YMMV
A couple of helpful links:
Did you install the SQL Server adapter?
