And would like to prevent a user for Instance A from accessing, or being able to load data from Instance B. What's the best way to handle this? thanks ...

I've been upgrading my app from Rails 2.3.8 to Rails 3.

It seems that most of Rails 3, Ruby 1.9.2 can be used, but when it is sqlite3-ruby, or mysql2 gems, then it can't compile, (missing mkmf?) and the latest Xcode is needed.

G'day guys, Currently having a bit of a philsophical conundrum. Myself and a few mates have built a quite awesome ruby CLI script for parsing and managing data.
