activerecord-wrap-with-connection

ActiveRecord is intended for short-lived threads. In order to use it in other situations, connections must be carefully checked back in to the pool in order for it not to be saturated. This gem monkey-patches ActiveRecord to wrap all model methods which touch a connection in #with_connection

Requirements

  • Rails 3.0.0+

Install

  • gem install activerecord-wrap-with-connection
  • require 'activerecord-wrap-with-connection after requiring ActiveRecord

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
    • If you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself so I can ignore when I pull
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
