Rails On Firebird - status and follow the guide

Rails On Firebird - you need to check that Firebird active record adapter and ruby driver are installed
Install Rails 4.x :

 gem install rails

Generate a new Firebird Rails application

rails new firebird_app 

delete the generated database.yml sqlite config and use the one from bellow
Be aware about indentation
cat config/database.yml

Edit the project Gemfile and add the activerecord-fb-adapter gem:

gem 'activerecord-fb-adapter'

Then run:

bundle update

 rails generate scaffold Client name:string address:string email:string remark:text

  rake db:migrate

I have re-read the ruby guide
so i did these commands while following the official guide

rake db:create

but database was already created in flamerobin

script/generate controller home index
vi app/views/home/index.html.erb

and write something there, start the server with

rails s

and now you can see something in browser
http://localhost:3000/


I have created the table and one sequence in firebird db

CREATE TABLE posts (
id BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255),
title VARCHAR(255),
content VARCHAR(255),
timestamps timestamp
);
CREATE sequence POSTS_SEQ;

I have ran the scaffold again to generate the posts model/view/controller

script/generate scaffold Post name:string title:string content:text

and then
started the server

rails s

Of course I have modified the route and added an link as in tutorial and now i can add and modify blog posts
note: in new rails route is defined this way in config/routes.rb

map.root :controller => "home"

http://localhost:3000/posts






Follow the normal ActiveRecord conventions for table names, primary key columns, etc. The one “extra” you’ll need for Firebird is that you’ll have to create a generator for any tables that require a sequence-based primary key. The default naming convention is TABLENAME_SEQ. So if you have a users table, you would need to create a corresponding USERS_SEQ generator

You don't need to create before insert triggers ! rails reads the value from sequence and then increments it in ruby code, Yay!
