ActiveRecord::Extensions 0.0.5

ActiveRecord::Extensions (ARE) 0.0.5 is released! Download it

Main Features of ARE

ARE supports four main features at this point:
  • Better finder support for ActiveRecord, [ Intro here ]
  • Mass import/insertion of data, which is up to 40x faster then ActiveRecord, [ Intro here ]
  • A benchmarking suite to benchmark itself against ActiveRecord, [ See MySQL results ]
  • Rake tasks to test itself, and to test itself against ActiveRecord’s own test suite, [ See README in source tgz ]

ARE is 100% compliant with ActiveRecord 1.1.0 up to 1.1.6 and even into RailsEdge up until tonight.

ARE’s import method is the way to go if you need to access MySQL functionality like:
  • INSERT IGNORE
  • INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
  • Multi-value INSERT statements
ARE’s better_finder support is the way to go if you want a more robust and cleaner API for searching the database. It supports things like:
  • Hashes
  • Arrays
  • Numerics
  • Regexps
  • Ranges

It gives awesome search functionality via passing in a Hash. [ Check it out ]
