ActiveRecord::Lint

A library to support the automatic checking for the doing of stupid things with ActiveRecord.

AR::Lint is not big, nor is it clever, nor is it that well written. It makes recommendations based upon what I have found to be good practice, with only anecdotal evidence to support it.

This is not a substitute for a DB admin, nor is it a substitute for knoledge.

Your mileage may vary, remember to check your tire pressure.

Usage

You can check a typical rails application by executing:

$ arlint path/to/rails/app

Support for automated tests and making it work with rake is something I could do to get around to.
