P.S. One of the most important changes you should be aware from the get go is that finally the adapters no longer need to be manually registered with active_record.rb. In other words, one just needs to run: ' $ gem install ibm_db ' ...and no other manual step is required.
Of course, getting Rails 2.0 installed would require: ' $ gem system update ' ...which would install the required Rubygems-0.9.5. On Linux Ubuntu Gutsy it is also know that '$ sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby' is a necessary step to get Rails 2.0 installed.

Hi Akira,
The IBM_DB gem driver and adapter will be declared officially supported once the Rails test suite runs without issue (excluding eventual test case that may not be relevant due to DBMS incompatibility). At this time there's a backlog of test case failures that aren't necessary related to adapter functionality, but rather changes and incompatibility in the test fixtures and test expectations.
That being said, we're yet to hear a specific case where the IBM_DB-0.9.2 gem has a specific failure with a Rails-2.0 web application that needs to be addressed. Most of the changes in Rails-2.0 don't necessary break compatibility. It's also likely that developers need to spend some time first migrating their applications to Rails-2.0 before any ActiveRecord issues crop up.
Please let us know if there's a specific Rails-2.0 issue that you are facing.

Hi Akira,
thanks for asking this important question. It is our utmost priority to get the ibm_db adapter to support Rails 2.0.x. Alex's team is working on this and it should be ready very soon.
Thanks,
Antonio
