Hello there all,
i have used rails to build our company website, and i loved it.
i have a lot of maintenace scripts to run through cron and i would really
dig being able to do it with active record.
Does anyone know of some good helper docs out there or tutorials ( or even a
book ) that would allow me to get the hang of using active record without
rails ?
or is there a better orm for mysql without being tied to a web server ?
thanks
shawn
I just created some simple documentation on this in the last week. You can find it at http://www.ociweb.com/mark/ActiveRecord.html. This page also discusses using ActiveRecord from Java through JRuby.
I'm open to any feedback on this page!

I've read this book:
http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_eir/index.html
It covers the scenario you describe in fair detail.

ActiveRecord outside of Rails is stunningly easy, especially when
you already have all of your Rails models written. I always end up
writing tons of ruby scripts that populate my Rails database with
loads of test or demo data.

page also discusses using ActiveRecord from Java through JRuby.
One of the most compelling reasons to use JRuby IMO; getting access
to all of those databases through JDBC that you don't have Ruby adapters
for.
