== Rails SQL Views
Library which adds SQL Views to Rails. Adds create_view and drop_view to the ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::AbstractAdapter (which makes them available to migrations) and adds support for dumping views in the ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper.
This is a fork of Rubaidh's fork for aeden's rails_sql_views project, which is part of activewarehouse.
== Installation
To install:
gem install rails_sql_views
Then add the following to your Rails config/environment.rb:
config.gem 'rails_sql_views'
== Usage
You can then use create_view and drop_view in your migrations. For example:
class CreatePersonView < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_view :v_people, "select * from people" do |t|
t.column :id
t.column :name
t.column :social_security
end
end
def self.down
drop_view :v_people
end
end
This extension also adds support for views in the ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper class.
The following drivers are supported:
MySQL
PostgreSQL (Native and Pure Ruby)
Oracle
SQL Server

If you would like to implement view support for other adapters then please drop me an email. Better yet, write up the adapter modifications and send them to me. :-)
