I am new to Ruby on rails and I've recently created a small accounting application which connects to a sqlite3 database.
At the moment, I am still in development and I can save new data or update existing records on the database using the activerecord commands in the controller side.
But my questions is regarding JDBC with JRuby:
I am new to java as well and from what I understand, JRuby is made entirely of Java code and is being run on a JVM. And that there are gems that won't work if it is written in C.
If I start using JRuby instead of the MRI, what would be the difference? Will i still be using the active record commands in manipulating records in the database?
If I use JRuby and create a new application, does the JDBC adapters work exactly like an existing gem like sqlite3 to connect the application to the database?
Or I would only need to program the JDBC adapter instead of the controller?
I am a little confused of how it would work and a few information would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!
EDIT:
What I mean to ask is, currently my application is working on Ruby on Rails and I am using commands in the controller for example when you are updating existing records like this:
@variable = [Table_name].find(:id)
then
@variable.update_attributes(params[:submit])
This commands would update the record using RoR, but if using Rails in JRuby, how would this work? is it the same syntax?
