Hi, I plan to use ActiveRecord in a non RubyOnRails application (just pure=

Ruby app). How easy is it? is just loading the library?

It's pretty much easy as pie. It's along the lines of

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_record'

class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many ther_models
belongs_to arent_model

...

end

There's other database modeling packages out there as well that you could
consider too -- Sequel, DataMapper, etc...

Very easy. I wrote a long article about it a while back:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/ruby/2007/06/21/how-to-build-simple-console=
-apps-with-ruby-and-activerecord.html

But you'll only need bits and pieces of it to get rolling.

easy. i use activerecord in my db operations as i dont have to break
my head for sql operations. u just create a model class and requrie it
and use it just as u would do in rails.

require 'active_record'
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => "mysql",
:host => "localhost",
:database => "mydb",
:username => "root"
)
class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name "tags"
has_and_belongs_to_many :trades

end
