After much reading on ruby on rails and multiple database connections, it seems that I have found something that not that many folks do, at least not with ror. I am used to querying many different databases and schemas and pulling back the information either for a report or for one seamless page. So, a user doesn’t have to log on to several different systems. I can create a page that has all the systems on one or two web pages.
Is that not a normal occurrence in the web and database driven design?
EDIT: Is this because most all my original code is in classic asp?
I really honestly think that most ORM designers don’t seem to take the thought that users may want to access more than one database into account. This seems to be a pretty common limitation in the ORM universe.
