Question

How to use rake with https://github.com/infused/dbf/. I tried to write in database.yml such text:

development:  
  adapter: dbf
  database: db/file.dbf
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

But it say, that didn’t find adapter activerecord-dbf-adapter.
I need only read dbf-files.
PS. I can’t use JDBC adapter.

UPDATE
I want to use dbf database such as another dabases (e.g. mysql) in rails with support ActiveRecord

Answer 1

I think you want to use dbf with ActiveRecord, but that it’s not what this gem does. It just provides the ability to read dbf files from Ruby.

To use it in your application you could write a class that would implement all the common methods you want and inherit from there, something like:

require 'dbf'
class DbfModel

  def initialize
    @table= DBF::Table.new("#{self.class.name}.dbf")
  end

  def find your_params_here
    @table.find your_params_here
  end

end

If do you want to use dbf with ActiveRecord you should find some adapter for it, but I haven’t been lucky looking for it.
