Ruby Support

There are three different Ruby Application Programming Interfaces supported by SAP Sybase IQ. First, there is the SAP Sybase IQ Ruby API. This API provides a Ruby wrapping over the interface exposed by the SAP Sybase IQ C API. Second, there is support for ActiveRecord, an object-relational mapper popularized by being part of the Ruby on Rails web development framework. Third, there is support for Ruby DBI. SAP Sybase IQ provides a Ruby Database Driver (DBD) which can be used with DBI.

• Ruby API Support
  There are three separate packages available in the SQL Anywhere for Ruby project. The simplest way to install any of these packages is to use RubyGems.
• SAP Sybase IQ Ruby API Reference
  SAP Sybase IQ provides a low-level interface to the SAP Sybase IQ C API. The API described in the following sections permits the rapid development of SQL applications. To demonstrate the power of Ruby application development, consider the following sample Ruby program. It loads the SAP Sybase IQ Ruby extension, connects to the sample database, lists column values from the Products table, disconnects, and terminates.
