Ruby on Rails
Informix (Version #168)

Home Page | All Pages | Recently Revised | Feed

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, name varchar(40));
  create sequence customers_seq;

• BYTE/TEXT columns must allow NULLs
• Prefer Informix 10 over Informix 9. Rails/Informix makes use of the SKIP option for pagination, which is only available since Informix 10.
