From the INSTALL documentation in the download:
You don't need to be root because the SQL On Rails installer will just use the appropriate priviledge escalation method for your OS version.ghehe..

Yes. Actually, it's good that you have all this, 'cause SQL on Rails, according to the screencast, only runs on OS X PPC. Now Rosetta has only been out for a couple of months, and it's non-Free, so we can't be sure it works. Within your FC5 on VMWare, launch PearPC (which is thankfully OSS) and get it to run OS X PPC.

More evidence that at least half of the commentary on slashdot is actually handled by bots. That said it does make for a good code checking system.

That may be. However, I'm in the US, and every DBA I've worked with has pronounced it "sequel." I think it sounds a lot better than another TLA too.

A couple of years ago, I was working with a guy who insisted on referring to D-L-L's as "dills". That made me chuckle every time.

I think it's because it seems fairly benign and neutral. "Oh-lay" makes me picture someone dancing around with a sombrero on their head, a rapier in one hand, and a jar of expensive face cream in the other. "Earl" is very close to both "Urkel" and the "durrrrrrrrrr" that implies drool running down one's face.

So how do you pronounce it? Is it "see octothorpe [wiktionary.org] or "see hash"?
Its not just MS either, "guh-nome [n0i.net]" is just as bad.

That's it. SQL on rails is awesome.
Actually, SQL needs to be on rails. (Score:4, Funny)
Rails help to keep SQL on the tracks and to prevent queries from running unrestrained against a database. With rails, you don't have to worry about unsafe queries against your database. Everything is tightly controlled, and you can have a simple three line search engine without a great deal of overhead that normally goes into all of that normalization, checking, deadlock prevention, etc etc.
Finally! I'm waiting for HTML on Rails next!

This technology was sold as the premier way to write web apps for many years. Universities taught CS students to code with this, consultants in dark suits charged $150+ an hour to develop with it, and corporate clients paid tens of thousands of dollars per instance. I sincerely wish I was joking.
