Hi, maybe this is of use for some of you. RailsCron from http://svn.kylemaxwell.com/rails_cron/trunk does not work with an Oracle database out of the box. One thing is the usage of "start" as an attribute name, which is a reserved word in Oracle. The other thing is the datatype :text for the command column. This will become a CLOB which cannot be queried with an ActiveRecord select. I changed it to :string, :limit => 4000. You can find the patch at http://people/~lausser/rails/railscron.oracle.patch Apply it like this: cd $MY_RAILS_PROJECT patch < railscron.oracle.patch Greetings from Munich, Gerhard -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
