The swift adapter now supports an SQLite subadapter. Use the :db_type =>
‘sqlite’ option when connecting. You can use an in memory
database with the following connection string:
swift:///?database=:memory:&db_type=sqlite
Arbitrary JDBC properties can now be set in the JDBC adapter using the
:jdbc_properties option when connecting. The value of this option should be
a hash where keys and values are JDBC property keys and values.
Basic Microsoft Access support was added to the ado adapter. The creation
of autoincrementing primary key integers now works, and identifiers are now
quoted with [].
The Database#indexes method now supports a :partial option when connecting
to MySQL, which makes it include partial indexes (which are usually
excluded).
Other Improvements
The class_table_inheritance plugin now handles subclass associations
better. Previously, the implicit eager loading code had issues when you
called an association method that only existed in the subclass.
The error message used when a validates_max_length validation is applied to
a nil column value has been improved. You can override the message yourself
using the :nil_message option.
The read_timeout and connect_timeout options now work correctly in the
mysql adapter.
Another MySQL disconnect error message is now recognized.
Backwards Compatibility
The swift adapter was upgraded to support swift 0.8.1. Older versions of
swift are no longer supported.
