Ruby on Rails
Informix

Prerequisites

1. Install Ruby/Informix
2. Install Rails/Informix

Configuration

  development:
    adapter: informix
    database: dbname@dbservername
    username: you
    password: secret

Usage notes

• If no dbserver is specified, defaults to INFORMIXSERVER
• If no username or password are specified, defaults to the user running the web server and his/her credentials
• A sequence must be created for each table in the form #{tablename}_seq:

  create table customers(id serial primary key, name varchar(40));
  create sequence customers_seq;

• BYTE/TEXT columns must allow NULLs
• If you want to use pagination you have to use Informix 10 or above because the SKIP option is needed.
