As someone who has done a lot of Ruby coding I would say using a statically typed database is almost a must when using a dynamically type language. The database enforces the data model and the Ruby code was mostly just glue on top of that data model.

That's fair, I could see an argument for "either the schema or the language needs to enforce schema". It's not obvious to me that one of the two models of "only one of them is" deserves to much more criticism than the other though.
