Having searched the net, I see that oracle is not supported by rails on a mac osx Intel. Now this may be due to the fact that Oracle is being slow to supply intel based binaries of their drivers, but I find it odd that osx is so well supported, yet this gaping hole exists. I did find an ODBC driver for osx/intel that works to oracle, but of course there is no ODBC driver for Rails that will talk to oracle. It seems every turn is blocked. Anyone have any good news for me? How hard would it be for me to hack the oracle adapter to use ODBC instead of OCI8? Any ideas? (I looked briefly but I am not yet familiar with the database adapter code). Thanks
