Hey there,
the Datamapper ORM had my attention lately and the syntax and methods seem quite similar to activerecord. Even validations could be converted without much hassle.
The migration-free model changes sound like a dream.
Has anyone tried it and succeeded? Or are there other experiences with DataMapper in Rails?
Just courious...

There’s a post about it, but I haven’t tried it myself: http://bustoutsolutions.com/blog/2007/09/17/getting-started-with-datamapper-and-rails/
It would indeed be nice if you could just distribute a rails app that could be just uploaded to a server (running mod_rails) and on first connect would ask for a database name and then automigrate.
Best regards
