New version 2.0.0 of IBM_DB- The Rails Adapter/Ruby driver for DB2 and Informix now available

Hi All,

New version 2.0.0 of the IBM_DB gem is been released. This release of the gem adds support for ActiveRecord to use parameterized SQL Queries with DB2. With this support you can now reap more performance benefits for your Rails applications. Enabling this feature is as simple as just adding the parameter “parameter” in your database.yml and setting it to true. Refer to Parameterized Queries README in the gem for more details.

So what more to wait, grab your copy of the latest free DB2 and the new gem to get started and to drop in to us with your comments and suggestions.
