DaveSanders / Rails, SQL Server, ODBC, and Snow Leopard setup
Created June 17, 2010 21:34
These are VERY basic instructions for getting MS SQL Server working via ODBC on Mac OSX Snow Leopard, with rails. It assumes you know how to make / install libraries from source. It took a LOT of trial and error so your results may vary.
1. Install unixODBC
Get from http://www.unixodbc.org
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gui=no
make
sudo make install

class DBUtil < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.create_history(table, history_table, columns, to_use)
#create the history table
create_table(history_table)
to_use += ["id", "updated_at", "updated_by"] if to_use != nil
columns.each do |c|
next if to_use != nil && !to_use.include?(c.name)

DaveSanders / DBUtil Usage
Created June 21, 2010 20:55
DBUtil sample Usage
the DBUtil.create_history line shows that only some of the columns are going to have history kept for them. The other columns will be ignored in the user_history table, and the triggers that are created by DBUtil.rb
class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
require File.expand_path('db/dbutil.rb')
def self.up
create_table :users do |t|
t.column :login, :string, :null => false

if (e.which == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
