so is the issue of connecting RoR to db2 on iseries going to be impossible? my workplace is 100% ibm, and i'd love to redo our customer load-tracking application in rails, but all our data is on as400 db2, and it's such a massive amount of data that replicating to a separate standalone db box would be cost-prohibitive.
Here is IBM's formal project on rubyforge for connecting to their databases including DB2 on IBMi (aka AS400, iSeries, System i, i5)
