Creating application using rails 2.3.5 and cassandra database

Question

hi all, Pls guide me how to create rails application using rails 2.3.5 and cassandra database as rails 2.3.5 supports mysql, sqllite etc.

I typed in the command prompt like this

$ rails -d cassandra myapp

Databases supported for preconfiguration are: mysql, oracle, postgresql, sqlite2, sqlite3, frontbase, ibm_db

So pls help me in this regard

Cassandra isn't supported by Rails. It is not actually a relational database and doesn't quite fit into the Active Record pattern used by Rails models.

I am sure there are client libraries you can use in the Ruby/Rails space:
