Description David Vancouvering 2007-11-20 00:21:20 UTC
Ruby support should include either the native 'postgres' gem or the 'postgres-pr' gem written in Ruby.  This is a P2
because PostgreSQL support should be as seamless as possible, as it is the database we include in Solaris.
Comment 1 David Vancouvering 2007-11-20 20:32:15 UTC
Increasing priority, as I am getting the message this is the highest priority.  In particular, we want to see if we can
include this with the NB 6 distribution that is going to be bundled with SXDE.  This needs to be completed by December 1
if it's going to make it in.  We can work with Alexey Mokheev to add this to the installer for SXDE. 
Comment 2 Martin Krauskopf 2007-11-20 21:30:06 UTC
We can't touch the 6.0 codebase now. So either it will be possible through some Autoupdate Module based on the current
infrastructure (so will be available for 6.0) or for 6.1, it might be supported directly from within the IDE. Ideally it
would be only part of the some special Ruby installer for SXDE (is there something like this?), since there are probably
very few users who utilizes the postgres gem.
Comment 3 David Vancouvering 2007-11-20 21:34:14 UTC
Please talk to Alexei Mokeev about how to do this with the SXDE installer.  I think there is a way to do this.  After
6.0, this needs to be included by default, rather than on the Auto Update center or through some other mechanism.  We
have a strong direction to enhance PostreSQL support in NetBeans.

Sorry, somehow I imagined something like SXDE installer itself, in our private discussion, not NetBeans installer for
SXDE. I see now.
Comment 5 Martin Krauskopf 2008-06-26 10:37:28 UTC
Specifying Solaris in the subject since on other platform it does not make sense, since it would target very few users.
Comment 6 Martin Krauskopf 2008-06-26 10:39:05 UTC
Sorry, superfluous. Getting subject back, forgot about IZ OS field.
Comment 7 Erno Mononen 2008-07-01 15:23:33 UTC
I'm not sure about this, we already bundle the PostgreSQL JDBC driver + activerecord-jdbc-adapter that can be used to 
access Postgres with the bundled JRuby. I'd guess using JDBC is preferrable to using postgres-pr on JRuby. Are you 
bundling MRI Ruby with SXDE? If so, then it would probably make sense to bundle the gem there.
Comment 8 Erno Mononen 2008-10-21 17:15:11 UTC
Closing as per my previous comment, i.e. JDBC is preferred for JRuby. Whoever is bundling MRI Ruby in SXDE should 
bundle also the desired gems for it (we don't bundle MRI Ruby with the IDE).
