Warning

SingleStore 9.0 gives you the opportunity to preview, evaluate, and provide feedback on new and upcoming features prior to their general availability. In the interim, SingleStore 8.9 is recommended for production workloads, which can later be upgraded to SingleStore 9.0.

SingleStore is wire-compliant with MySQL. To connect to your database with Ruby, you can use:

  • Standard Ruby

  • Ruby on Rails

Connect with Standard Ruby

For a complete example, including samples of CRUD operations, see GitHub.

Prerequisites

  • Ruby (version 2.6.x or 3.x)

  • mysql2 gem

Connection Details

To connect your Ruby application to your cluster, you'll need the following:

  • Host: the endpoint or IP Address of your SingleStore cluster.

  • Port: default is 3306

  • User: root

  • Password

  • Database

Here is an example of a Ruby connection for a SingleStore cluster:

client = Mysql2::Client.new(
        :host => "localhost", 
        :username => "root", 
        :password => "<root password>", 
        :database => "test"
        )

For more examples, see Getting started with SingleStore stored procedures and Ruby.

Connect with Ruby on Rails

To connect with Ruby on Rails, configure your SingleStore.

Open config/database.yml and edit the development adapter to use MySQL. You will need to have the SingleStore socket which can be found using the query show variables like 'socket'.

$ mysql -u root -h 127.1 -P 3306 -e "show variables like 'socket'"
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| socket | /var/lib/memsql-ops/data/installs/MI85eaf8fca04849888be7f1a9a596210e/data/memsql.sock |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

SingleStore can run queries using the mysql2 connector in controller code. Calling execute returns a mysql2 result, which can be converted to an array and easily displayed:

class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
    render plain: ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute('show databases').to_a.join(' ')
  end
end
