Hey Everybody,

After popular request, I decided to put together a series of
instructions on getting Ruby 1.9, Rails and SQLite3 bindings working,
all on Windows.

http://blog.mmediasys.com/2009/07/06/getting-started-with-rails-and-sqlite3/

The steps described in the blog post cover:

* Installation of Ruby 1.9.1 on Windows (using preview1 Installers)
* Installation of SQLite3
* Installation of Rails and creation of an application
* Verification of proper working environment
* Notes about compatibility.

This post aims to explain the needed steps to get everything working
out of the box without unneeded complexity.

Hope search engines pick this up and this answer common questions
raised over the mailing lists.

Cheers,

Subject: [Rubyinstaller-users] ANN] sqlite3-ruby 1.2.5 Released
Message-ID: <71166b3b0907250311j5fe6bcaav31db87caba1109bf@mail.gmail.com>

sqlite3-ruby version 1.2.5 has been released!

* <http://sqlite3-ruby.rubyforge.org>
* <http://rubyforge.org/projects/sqlite3-ruby>
* <http://github.com/jamis/sqlite3-ruby>

This module allows Ruby programs to interface with the SQLite3
database engine (http://www.sqlite.org).  You must have the
SQLite engine installed in order to build this module.

Note that this module is NOT compatible with SQLite 2.x.

Changes:

### 1.2.5 / 25 Jul 2009

* Check for illegal nil before executing SQL [Erik Veenstra]
* Switch to Hoe for gem task management and packaging.
* Advertise rake-compiler as development dependency.
* Build gem binaries for Windows.
* Improved Ruby 1.9 support compatibility.
* Taint returned values. Patch #20325.
* Database.open and Database.new now take an optional block [Gerrit Kaiser]


### Windows Users.

Now is possible to install sqlite3-ruby without compilers (thanks to
the new native gems).

Proceed safely to update or install your gems.

Even more, if you want to test drive new version of One-Click
Installer with Rails and SQLite3,
please follow this tutorial:
