solutions wanted Export data from a Ruby on Rails DB

[John Chamberlain]

This forum is the closest I could find to my problem, but it may not be the correct one.

I do pro bono work for non-profs. My newest project is to convert data from a web-based program called Ruby that runs on something called Rails. I cannot run any of this because I am on a Mac and these two are PC based. Can anyone shed any light on how I can get the data from this online DB into a format that I can work with to create an FMP DB?

Thanks ,

Well, Ruby is not a program, and Rails is not something - and Ruby on Rails is not PC based. I suggest you find out what database they are using for their backend (most likely it'll be MySQL), then communicate directly with the database.
