Exclude ActiveRecord in Rails3

What’s the best way to exclude ActiveRecord in Rails3?

In Rails2, one could just do:

config.frameworks -= [ :active_record ]

in the configuration block in environment.rb. Is it possible in Rails3?

Thanks.

As far as I know the way to do this is to change this line in config/application.rb:

require “rails/all”

To these lines (this is most of the code from “rails/all”):

require “rails”

%w(

action_controller

action_mailer

active_resource

rails/test_unit

).each do |framework|

begin

require “#{framework}/railtie”

rescue LoadError

end

end

I’ve removed active_record from the above array.

Thanks. I thought there might be a better way to achieve the same.

For a new application, you can do:

rails new myapp --skip-active-record

Aha…cool. Thanks.

Yup, that basically does what Ryan mentioned, changes rails/all to load individual frameworks (excluding activerecord ofcourse)
