Does is make sense to be able to map a db2 schema into the rails
concept of a database? I can always choose to use two different db2
databases, but it would be nice to have the choice. It’s a lot less
costly for me (in terms of resources) if I can just use different
schemas in the same database.

Along the same lines, is there an easy way to “copy” a schema to
another? I find myself wanting to take a test database and copy it to
do some experiments that might corrupt the data. The database has
enough live-ish data that I can’t generate it synthetically.

Finally, should this kind of discussion go on somewhere else? Not
everybody would know about the blog/and or it’s not easiest thing to
track? Some kind of forum? I guess there’s the gem forum, but it’s not
the easiest thing to read (e.g., as far as I can tell, I can’t get an
atom feed from rubyforge). The mailing list? I guess this could be
considered a dev thing, but there’s probably the need for user stuff
as well.
