As I understand it, the Sinatra framework, unlike Rails, does not provide an ORM. In that case, how do you talk to a DB in a Sinatra app? Or is Sinatra only for apps that don’t use a DB?

  1. If you like ActiveRecord, use that. Or something else. Datamapper, for instance. For AR with SQLite, this works:

    require 'rubygems' # may not be needed, depending on platform require 'sinatra' require 'active_record'  class Article < ActiveRecord::Base end  get '/' do   Article.establish_connection(     :adapter => 'sqlite3',     :database => 'hw.db'   )   Article.first.title end
