Comment on Rails 3.1 and Xeround MySQL on Heroku by Ben Atkin

I haven't been using Xeround since a few days after that post, but I was curious so I googled and tried to figure out what I would do. Xeround does support renaming a table with the ALTER TABLE RENAME statement. What I've come up with so far is the following: A) create a new table with the desired schema and the name suffixed with _new, B) do a SELECT INTO from the old table to the new table C) rename the old table (add an _old) suffix, D) rename the new table to remove the suffix. After that the application would be accessing the new table.

I am looking into Xeround right now and can see some issues concerning the fact that alter table is not supported. Have you had to deal with that yet? If so, how did you overcome it?

Comment on Adding Compass to a Heroku App by Roman Gaufman

Doesn’t work for me, I tried to add @import “compass/css3/border-radius”; — but it’s as if the line is ignored – no errors, no warnings, just nothing is imported.

Strangely however this works :/ – @import compass/_reset

A VPS roughly equivalent to mine (with 512MB memory rather than 600MB) costs $19 a month. I think I paid under $200 last April when I bought a year of annual hosting, so that would have been less. It's still a chunk of change, though, and I agree that shared hosting is a decent starting place.
