Hi,
I’m using MySQL for development and Oracle for testing and production. I need to create a database view with migrations and this feature is not available through migration DSL, so, to create the view, I’ll need to put raw SQL code in migration.
What is the best way to do this, keeping the migration working for Oracle and MySQL?
Thanks,
Gustavo Honorato

No you won't. Just use the rails_sql_views plugin.
Best,
Thanks Marnen,
I didn’t know this plugin. I’ve read the documentation, but in his example I can’t see how to change the columns names of the view. Is it possible?
Thanks again,
Gustavo

I don't know. I've never used it. But the example sort of implies that you could use AS in the select statement.
Thanks again, Gustavo

It seems that rails_sql_view doesn't work with JRuby (I'm using JRuby and Rails 2.3). When I installed the gem, I'm getting the following error:
undefined method `base_tables' for #<ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::JdbcAdapter:0x40eca3> /home/gustavo/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.5.2/gems/rails_sql_views-0.8.0/lib/rails_sql_views/schema_dumper.rb:98:in `tables_with_views_excluded' /home/gustavo/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.5.2/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/schema_dumper.rb:25:in `dump' /home/gustavo/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.5.2/gems/rails_sql_views-0.8.0/lib/rails_sql_views/schema_dumper.rb:27:in `dump_with_views' /home/gustavo/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.5.2/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/schema_dumper.rb:19:in `dump'
Do you have any idea?

Probably not a JRuby issue (though from the stack trace, it looks like it might be a JdbcAdapter issue). AFAIK that gem is pure Ruby, so it should work. Try it with MRI?

I can't use MRI. The project I'm working uses some Java Libs and JRuby make more easy this integration. I went back and tried to create the views with raw SQL, but the views are not dumped to schema.rb. I'm stuck without any ideas and my deadline is comming :(.
I thought to reimplement this plugin, but I have no experience doing this. Do you have any suggestions?

You should at least be able to test the plugin with it, even if you can't use it for this project.

MRI + RJB is feasible too. Depends on how you need the Java stuff.

You could set the schema_dumper to use SQL, but don't do that.

It probably wouldn't be hard to patch the plugin to work with JDBC, if that's where your problem is. It's generating pretty simple SQL. Just look at how it generates the SQL for the adapters that it does support.
I had to do something similar when I patched Foreigner to support MS SQL Server. It was really pretty easy.

Thanks Marnen, I'll try to do this. I'll come back when have news.

I've just found this plugin GitHub - eladmeidar/PlainViews: an ActiveRecord migration DSL for creating database views. Do you know if it's good??
