Is there a list of supported databases for RoR? I’m looking for MongoDB support but couldn’t find anything official.
I’m a python/djangoist and have no clue for what keyword I should search in the RoR world. 🙁
All official I could find was that small list saying:
Migrations are currently supported in MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Sybase, and Oracle (all supported databases except DB2).
Are these all? Or is there maybe an app/plugin/whatever-its-called for RoR I could use?
First Question:
You are looking for supported databases officially covered by activerecord, the ORM default implementation in ruby on rails.
These are the supported connection adapters out of the box without gem enhancements.
Only these databases:
MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite
Source Code:
https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters
Second Question:
Mongo-Mapper is the gem that should be used to integrate MongoDB into Ruby On Rails 3.
Ruby Gem:
http://rubygems.org/gems/mongo_mapper
