Hi - I am just wondering if we could connect the application to an SQL Server database. If no is there any plan on trying using that database?

Hi Jimmy,

you can connect the application to an MySQL Server by modifying the config/database.yml like this:

e.g. for rails_env production

production:
  adapter: mysql
  host: %my.database.org%
  port: %port%
  database: %production database name%
  username: %username%
  password: %password%
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: true

I believe Jimmy meant the Microsoft SQL Server. There is no plan to support that platform at this time. However, you can of course try tell us how well it works, as it is completely untested and might very well be usable.

You can find instructions on how to connect here.
