Greetings, I am really hoping to get support for a legacy database (called OpenEdge, formerly Progress) working with DataMapper. I have a proprietary JDBC driver that I am planning on using; so far I have it working fine executing raw SQL from JRuby.
To figure out how to do this, I've looked a little through the DM code, but as someone relatively new to Ruby / not smart I'm not 100% sure how to get started. So far I'm thinking I have to write some type of Ruby wrapper for the JDBC driver, and then write some more Ruby that extends do_jdbc to get the DataObjects API implemented. I'm guessing that I could follow the route of the Derby driver<https://github.com/datamapper/do/tree/master/do_derby>as it looks simple enough for me to maybe grasp. If my assumptions are correct, then how would I get started wrapping the JDBC driver? I noticed in the DataObjects repo this jdbc_drivers/README.developers<https://github.com/datamapper/do/blob/master/jdbc_drivers/README.developers>file which states that "We now use the drivers bundled as Gems provided by the ActiveRecord-JDBC project. Only drivers that that project does not yet provide should be provided in this directory." Does that mean that to get started I should follow the route of the adapters in this repo<https://github.com/nicksieger/activerecord-jdbc-adapter> ? Thanks!
