Ruby on Rails/ActiveRecord/Connection adapters

ActiveRecord abstracts the connection to the database through connection adapters. It currently supports the following databases: DB2 Firebird FrontBase MySQL OpenBase Oracle Postgresql SQL Lite SQL Server Sybase If you need to access the current connection adapter directly you can do so through the ActiveRecord::Base.connection class method. All connection adapters share some common functionality which is defined in the following source files: active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definition.rb active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb
