    Merb is a good time, what is your ORM of choice?

    I haven’t really gotten a chance to play with Datamapper yet.

    I honestly do like ActiveRecord though … it’s my favourite part of Rails (along with Observers)

    I agree, I was using Datamapper but it’s definitely not at the same level of development as ActiveRecord.

    I am curious about compatibility with databases. Does merb come with a database? I wonder because when I had sql installed and then downloaded and installed instant rails, they didn’t play well together and I had to end up uninstalling sql in order to get instant rails to work.

    Currently rails 2.0.2 uses sqlite. Will there be any conflicts for me when I acquire merb?

    Damn, setting up merb is easy.

    anteaya: sqlite isn’t really recommended for situations where traffic is important. I’ve used MySQL for almost everything I’ve worked on.

    Postgre is a pretty sweet option too for a production database server. I’ve actually been playing with DataMapper a lot lately and I’ve got to admit that I am really loving it!
