Hi Daniel,
actually BioSQL is support in Ruby using ActiveRecord
https://github.com/bioruby/bioruby/blob/master/lib/bio/io/sql.rb and
https://github.com/bioruby/bioruby/tree/master/lib/bio/io/biosql
Please, check the reference schema because I'm not synched with the latest
one, sorry too busy.
If you want to update the library I'm more than happy.
Then a feature which is still in experimental stage is the chance to create
a bioruby-plugin which is a Rails Engine, so you can add there your own
classes or code so that can be reused in multiple Rails applications.
Here, https://github.com/helios/bioruby-gem/tree/rails_engine, you can find
the git branch don't know if it is buggy, I must check.
Let me know I'll try to provide as much support I can.
