I am currently working on an export / import to move data from a legacy system backed by MySQL to the new generation system backed by Oracle. Due to the fact that both our DBA (Database Administrator) and DBD (Database Developer) are overloaded,I have been tasked to create something that ports the data over. To do this I created a Ruby project attached to the MySQL server, and pumped out the data in a pipe (|) delimited format with headers.
This rocks for my uses because the main project uses the FasterCSV gem. So using a set of rake tasks I can export the data from the old system, then execute the import tasks to spew the data over to the Oracle backed system.
I was looking around for an easy way to call many rake tasks in much the same way as Capistrano. It turns out that it is drop dead easy.
Check out Calling rake tasks from another rake for details.
