DB2 and Rails 2.1

Rails 2.1 was released last week at RailsConf 2008, in Portland. Despite being a “minor version” increase from 2.0.2, it introduces quite a few changes. Some of these affect the DB2 adapter, so it is recommended that you don’t upgrade to Rails 2.1 yet.

The API team is fully aware of the outstanding issues and is working on bringing DB2 compatibility to Rails 2.1. An announcement in this blog will be made when a new release is available.

    Would the following be a symptom of rails 2.1 with the ibm_db adapter?

    rake aborted!
    select_rows is an abstract method

    We just installed Rails 2.1 on SUSE10 on zlinux. So far the basic connectivity works after porting an app from rails 2.02 in windows. One thing I’ve found that is broken is rake db:migrate

    Yes Jorg, that’s one of the issues. A new version is available (0.9.5) that adds support for Rails 2.1.
