 Instructions for building and installing the IBM_DB driver from source
 =======================================================================
 Building the driver manually as described below is not required if the install
 process above has been pursued. This manual procedure is in fact automated
 on Linux and UNIX platforms by the IBM_DB gem install, but is presented
-here only for reference, and also involves running the unit tests.
+here only for reference.
 
  Prerequisites:
   Install Ruby from:
     http://rubyforge.org
 
-  Linux and Unix platforms:
-   Note: commands may vary depending on the shell used
-    - To setup DB2 environment while using an arbitrary user account
-      (other than the DB2 install user account):
-      Example:
-        $ . /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
-
-    - To configure test database:
-      DB2 v9.x: some IBM_DB driver tests require a UTF-8 database:
-        $ db2 CREATE DATABASE testdrv USING CODESET UTF-8 \
-          TERRITORY US COLLATE USING SYSTEM PAGESIZE 32768 
-      DB2 v8.x: driver tests 195 and 52949 requires XML functionality
-      only available in DB2 v9.x
-
-    - To configure database connection parameters edit config.yaml
-      Example:
-        database: testdrv 
-        user:     db2inst1
-        password: password
-        hostname: localhost
-        port:     50000
-
-    - To compile and link with DB2 client libraries:
-       $ export IBM_DB_INCLUDE=DB2HOME/include (eg. /home/db2inst1/sqllib/include or /opt/ibm/db2/v9.5/include)
-       $ export IBM_DB_LIB=DB2HOME/lib     (eg. /home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib or /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/lib32)
-
-  Windows platforms:
-    - Install Visual C++ 2005, Platform SDK (latest), .Net SDK (latest)
-    - Set environment:
-      CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2005\SetEnv.Cmd"
-      CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2005\vcvars32.bat"
-      SET LIB=%LIB%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005\Vc8\lib
-    - To configure database connection parameters edit config.yml
+  Setup the environment
   
- Build and Execution:
-  rake 
-
- Execution of tests without compilation (must have .so in ibm_db source directory):
-  rake onlytests
-
- Execution of a single test inside the tests directory can be done by the following:
-  export SINGLE_RUBY_TEST=test_001_CtlgConn.rb
-  rake 
-
+    Linux and Unix platforms:
+     Note: commands may vary depending on the shell used
+      - To setup DB2 environment while using an arbitrary user account
+        (other than the DB2 install user account):
+        Example:
+          $ . /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
+
+      - To compile and link with DB2 client libraries:
+         $ export IBM_DB_DIR=DB2HOME (eg. /home/db2inst1/sqllib or /opt/ibm/db2/v9.5)
+
+    Windows platforms:
+      - Set ruby devkit environment:
+      - To compile and link with DB2 client libraries:
+         $ set IBM_DB_DIR=DB2HOME (eg. C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB)
+    
+  Build the driver:
+    - $ cd rubyibm_source/IBM_DB_Adapter/ibm_db/ext
+    - $ ruby extconf.rb
+    - $ make
+
+  Build the ibm_db gem
+    - $ cp rubyibm_source/IBM_DB_Adapter/ibm_db/ext/ibm_db.so rubyibm_source/IBM_DB_Adapter/ibm_db/lib 
+    	# Not on windows separate binaries are generated for 1.8 and 1.9 version of ruby
+    	# and placed under rb18x and rb19x directories respectively. The file ibm_db_mswin32.rb is renamed to ibm_db.rb to ensure proper binary is loaded based on runtime
+    	# You will need to similarly ensure that the generated binary is placed on rb18x or rb19x directory under lib based on ruby version being used
+    - $ cd rubyibm_source/IBM_DB_Adapter/ibm_db
+    - $ gem build IBM_DB.gemspec
+    
+Running tests
+=============
+Testing the IBM_DB Adapter
+
+1) a) Copy the files under test directory of ibm_db gem to the test directory of Activerecord following the same directory structure. 
+	These files contain modifications in some test files of AR suite to handle ibm_db specifics. Hence make sure these files are replaced in the AR test suite properly.
+   b) Rename warhouse-things.yml to warehouse_things.yml under fixtures directory
+2) Edit the Rakefile to include ibm_db in list of adapters
+	%w( mysql mysql2 postgresql sqlite3 sqlite3_mem firebird db2 oracle sybase openbase ibm_db frontbase jdbcmysql jdbcpostgresql jdbcsqlite3 jdbcderby jdbch2 jdbchsqldb )
+3) Configure the connection information in test/config.yml for ibm_db
+4) run the test suite - rake test_ibm_db
+
+Running IBM_DB driver test suite
+
+1) Copy over the test directory under source to lib directory of installed ibm_db under $GEM_HOME
+2) Edit config.yml file to provide database connection information
+3) Run the test suite
+	$ rake onlytests
+4) To run single test
+	export SINGLE_RUBY_TEST=<test file name> #Eg: export SINGLE_RUBY_TEST=test_000_PrepareDb.rb
+	rake onlytests

  - IBM_DB is not supported on JRuby. As stated in the JRuby Wiki, "Basics of Getting JRuby Running":
    'You may install other gems, but keep in mind that libraries with C extension dependencies 
    will not work in JRuby.' http://www.headius.com/jrubywiki/index.php/Getting_Started
    The IBM_DB adapter relies on IBM_DB driver (C extension) and the IBM Driver for ODBC and
    CLI to access databases on IBM data servers. Alternatively, you can either use the regular C
    implementation of Ruby, or use ActiveRecord-JDBC adapter to access databases.
- - Query caching feature of ActiveRecord-2.0 not supported 
  - When using ActiveRecord-2.1.0 it requires that ActiveRecord be patched, with the patch in the link below:
  		http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/attachments/26975/association_preloading.diff
  	The patch is required because, ActiveRecord 2.1.0 generates a non-standard SQL identifier,while preloading has_and_belongs_to_many associations,
  	which standard compliant databases like DB2 do not support. The bug report, against ActiveRecord, can be found in the link below
