I promised that I would send a link out or something… so here goes.

Tonight at the Portland Ruby Brigade meeting, the question about having Active Record READ from one database and WRITE to another database was brought up. The discussion was going in the route of, “How can we make AR do this?”

I chimed in with my usual PostgreSQL bias. “pgpool.”

Let something else handle this. Infact, with PgPool, you don’t have to change any code in your Rails application to make this work. :-)

So, take a look at: pgpool

Enjoy!
