Описание:
Pro Active Record helps you take advantage of the full power of your
database engine from within your Ruby programs and Rails applications.
ActiveRecord, part of the magic that makes the Rails framework so
powerful and easy to use, is the model element of Rails
model/view/controller framework. It is an object-relational mapping
library enabling you to interact with databases from both Ruby and Rails
applications. Because ActiveRecord is configured with default
assumptions that mesh perfectly with the Rails framework, Rails
developers often find they hardly need think about it at all. However,
if you are developing in Ruby without Rails, or are deploying against
legacy databases designed without Rails in mind, or you just want to
take advantage of database-specific features such as large objects and
stored procedures, you need the in-depth knowledge of ActiveRecord found
in this book. In Pro Active Record, authors Kevin Marshall, Chad Pytel,
and Jon Yurek walk you through every step from the basics of getting
and installing the ActiveRecord library to working with legacy schema to
using features specific to each of todays most popular database
engines, including Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, and more! You will come to a
deep understanding of ActiveRecord that will enable you to truly exploit
all that Ruby, Rails, and your chosen database platform have to offer
