In my company, an electronic publishing organization, we are moving to 
MarkLogic, an XML Native database (or contentbase, as MarkLogic prefers 
calling it). After working with it for a few months, we are certainly 
not going back to any relational dbs, be it Oracle or SQL Server. With 
that in mind, John, would you please look at the thread called "IronRuby 
and MarkLogic" (last updated by me 32 days ago) when you have a chance 
and check out why John Messerly's patch was not kept in the latest 
releases...thanks!

Meanwhile, I switched to using IronPython for my MarkLogic development 
since it works just fine...but it would be great if I could use 
IronRuby...
