Version 4.1 of the SQL on Rails framework is available for download on the site, and the O'Reilly title is expected to hit shelves next month." ZOMG L@@K at the kitten site it powers!@#!11

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.

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.

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.
