ActiveRecord Teradata Adapter for JRuby

Are you using JRuby? ActiveRecord? Teradata? This is for you.

This is a driver that lets you use Teradata with ActiveRecord.

Usage

In your Gemfile add

gem 'activerecord-jdbcteradata-driver'

In database.yml add something like

development:
  adapter: teradata
  username: user
  password: pass
  host: hostname
  database: DBC
  pool: 25
  wait_timeout: 5
  tmode: TERA

License

MIT. Free for you to use any way you want.

Force lowercase attributes

Ruby people like lowercase attribute names. If you have a table that has upper case column names, you can force ActiveRecord to use lowercase attribute names.

For example, if this:

user = User.new
user.first_name = "John"

looks better than:

user = User.name
user.FIRST_NAME = "John"

you can set:

ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TeradataAdapter.lowercase_schema_reflection = true

in config/initializers

Building the code

A small part of the code is written in java. You are going to want to run:

ruby java_compile.rb

Running tests

bundle exec rspec spec

I am also testing against the activerecord test suite.
