similar to: mactel and oracle, when?

Hi, I am having a terrible time installing Instant Client to connect my Mac and an Oracle db. I am using the following instructions: http://www.foliosus.com/2007/11/19/connecting-ruby-on-rails-to-oracle-on-an-intel-mac-in-leopard-mac-osx-105/?css=Banksia All goes seemingly well until the Compile the ruby-oci8 library section. ruby setup.rb config returns the following error message:

Is rails + oci8 + mac os x intel a winning combination? It appears that oci8 might be a issue.

I had previously gotten Maik Schmidt''s patch for Oracle working, but now am trying the official Oracle adapter with the latest Rails. I''ve been trying to get the OCI8 connector to install under OS X, but get the following error. Has anyone gotten it working? ---- [waterdog:~/Desktop/ruby-oci8-0.1.9] stmpjmpr% ruby setup.rb config ---> lib ---> lib/DBD ---> lib/DBD/OCI8

I''m trying to get ActiveRecord working with an Oracle DB over the instant client. On a 32bit machine, I can require ''oci8'': Linux xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2.6.9-78.0.17.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Mar 5 04:52:17 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux irb(main):001:0> require ''oci8'' => true However, on a 64bit machine: Linux xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Tue

When a controller responds to a link_to_remote with a redirect_to, the link_to_remote gets a success callback, this would seem like a bug to me, at a minimum it should return a failure? This is driving me crazy because all the login engines/generators respond to an authentication error with a redirect_to. The work around is to change them to all do a render :layout => false, :status => 500

Hi, I have a standard type authentication technique direct from AWDWR, so there is a before_filter :authorize_employee, :except => :login in my employees_controller.rb the authorize_employee is in application.rb def authorize_employee unless session[:employee_id] flash[:notice] = "Please log in" # save the URL the user requested so we can hop

hi I have the latest rails version and would like to connect to an Oracle 9 database: this is my code: ========= ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection( :adapter => "oci", :host => "host", :username => "user", :port => 1888, :password => "passwd", :database => "tmp1" ) class

All of a sudden, on three different systems, the "server_ip_address/sid_name" syntax in database.yml has stopped working for me. I can''t even do a OCI8.new(blah blah blah) statement from an IRB shell. I get "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener", or some variant, depending on how I phrase it. On systems where I have a real deal client installed, and OCI can find the tnsnames

Hi, I have a worker, which should have thrown an uncaught exception and dumped the stack in the do_work method, however I saw no dump or indication of any error in any of the logs. This makes it very hard to debug, where does stdout and or stderr go? How canb I know if it gets some kind of error? (in this case not being able to find a class).

Hi folks, Does anyone know how to install the OCI8 ruby interface on Debian64 without having to install Oracle? My understanding, from experience with Debian i386, is that you need Oracle (specifically the SQLPlus) installed to be able to compile OCI8. Since my new dev machine is AMD64 running Debian, I''m stuck. My rails applications need to connect to a remote Oracle 10g, but cannot

Hello, I''m trying to run rails on a Solaris 10 box with Ruby/OCI8, but I''m getting the following errors when trying to start up. # script/server => Booting WEBrick... /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/commands/servers/ webrick.rb:49:in `[]='': failed to allocate memory (NoMemoryError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/

Has anyone looked into having ActiveRecord use Oracle bind vars? I don''t know if the same concept is supported in other dbs, but Oracle''s OCI driver supports late binding with dramatically improved performance. I did a quick test to confirm that I could expect the same performance improvement through the Ruby OCI8 driver, and in a simple test it looks to be a 5x improvement.

Hi, I just upgraded to soap4r 1.5.5, and now all my Rails Functional tests for the action_web_services fail as follows, any ideas what I did wrong?

My company''s System-admin installed Ruby and Gems (using Sun Coolstack package) and I have sudo access to ruby, gem etc. Now I need to get my app to talk to oracle db (through network). From what I understand, it requires three steps: Step 1: Install oracle instant client ( I installed it in my ~/oracle/ instantclient_11_1) Step2: Install OCI8 libraries (this is where I am stuck). Here is

I''m developing an rails app. The SVN repository resides on a (Win 2k) server on my company''s local intranet. The repository is accessed via http (Apache + mod_dav_svn). From this machine, it is not a problem to get out onto the Internet. However, coming in from the Internet is not possible (at least, not without a VPN connection). Given this, is it possible to use

Hi, After a few days of struggling, I was able to run this command successfully. ruby -r oci8 -e "OCI8.new(''xxx_dba'', ''xxx'', ''//xxxx:1521/ xxxxx.xxx.org'').exec(''SELECT 1 from dual'') {|r| puts r.join}" I got "1.0" as output and I got my prompt back. So, I went back to the RoR app that I am working on,

Hi All, I am having a problem to access multiple databases with mssql I am running Ruby 1.8.4 and Rails 1.1 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I am simply trying to integrate the application I wrote before for Oracle to Mssql. The application works perfectly with Oracle with the installed driver OCI8. The app retrives data based on a search criteria from those databases. I followed the directions
