Pro ActiveRecord Databases

Apress Pro ActiveRecord Databases with Ruby and Rails<br><br>Active Record has primarily been covered as a subsection,<br>or maybe as a chapter or two, within a larger scoped book generally about the Ruby on<br>Rails (RoR) framework. And almost all of those books actually do a great job of introducing<br>you to the basics of Active Record; they go a long way toward getting you started with the library.<br>However, because they are addressing a larger scope, all of the existing books also fall short in<br>exposing the hidden features and benefits of using the Active Record library, and almost none<br>even mention the fact that you can get many of the same advantages in your Ruby programs<br>outside of the Rails framework.
