Heresy is a schema free wrapper around your database, heavily inspired by both CouchDB and FriendFeed[1]. You create Heresy models that work with generic schema-less tables.

class Entry < Heresy::Model fields do |f| f.string :title end end

Entry.schema.create # create the table in the database

This class will use a table that looks like this:

create_table :entries do |t| t.primary_key :id, :int t.column :uuid, :binary t.column :updated_at, :timestamp t.column :body, :blob end

Now you can create and retrieve models:

@entry = Entry.new :title => 'testing' @entry.save

@entry = Entry.find('some_entry_uuid') @entry.body = "updated" @entry.save

UUIDs are automatically generated and used as the main ID for each record.
