similar to: Oracle 10g Express - generate scaffold gives error

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

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/

Howdy folks, Has anyone had any luck getting Oracle''s XMLType to play nicely with Rails? According to the docs, it''s just a wrapper around CLOB. However the ruby-oci8 driver throws an exception about user defined types if you try to query a table with an XMLType column. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, -wilig

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

I have a table with "expires_on" a DATE field. "Show" and "Destroy" work, but "Edit" errors: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb:150:in `select_hour'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb:149:in `select_hour'' It only happens when

I have been trying to connect to an Oracle database on a windows machine. I succesfully ran a test program using ODBC to connect to Oracle, but I am out of luck on doing this with rails. I am unable to install the OCI Adapter on Windows and am trying to figure it out. Meanwhile, if anyone could provide me with some pointers or references, I would be grateful. I am finding it a bit difficult in

My Application runs fine when run on webrick, but throws up database error when run from apache. this is the copy of the FULL TRACE i get /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oci8.rb:131:in `create'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oci8.rb:131:in `initialize'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/oci_adapter.rb:515:in

Hi, after some experience with Rails on MySQL databases I gave it a try on one of our larger Oracle database. I was facing a problem when Rails tried to detect the columns for a model/table. The appropriate statement ran about 1 min which led to a timeout. Our Oracle guru told me to analyze the SYSTEM schema. After that hadn''t helped, he said the only remaining chance is to use a

Hi All, I have a problem in connecting to oracle and here is the steps i''ve been going through (i''m using the regular oracle8 client, not the instant one): 1. i installed the one-click ruby installer (ruby184-16p3 windows.exe) 2. i installed the rails-1.0.0 framework using gem successfully 3. i tried connecting to oracle using all possible combination in the database.yml file

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

Hi, Is anyone using Oracle with RoR successfully? Is everything running smoothly? What are the main issues? any response is appreciated thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello all. I am a novice Ruby on Rails programmer, starting my first project using a legacy Oracle 10 database. Using ''reverse_scaffold'' I have created the models/controllers/views for my existing Oracle tables. All seems to work well, using /model/index, /model/show for most of my tables, *except* when one of the tables contains a Oracle ''date'' column, for

Hello folks. I''m new in Ruby also ROR. I installed oracle intant client and test it it works fine. Now I wanna connect to oracle db. But its got some error. like this *custom_require.rb:36:in `require'': cannot load such file -- oci8 (LoadError)* my code is here. require ''oci8'' oci =

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

Long afternoon, but finally got it. Hope this spares you some pain: Installation instructions mainly based on: http://ruby.about.com/od/enterprise/ss/ruby_oracle.htm Install Oracle Instant Client: mkdir C:\oracle cd c:\oracle Get the following files from here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html and unzip them into the c:\oracle\ unzip

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

All, While attempting to use ActiveRecord against a large database, approx. 1700 tables and 4 million rows, I discovered an inefficiency in oci_adapter.rb. The problem seems to be the SQL being generated to lazy-load the columns metadata. "def columns(table_name, name = nil)" method generates the following SQL: select column_name, data_type, data_default, nullable,

Hi, I'm trying to get OCI support in php on RHEL 4. So i installed the oracle-client and php.src.rpm and then typed: rpmbuild -bb --with oci /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/php.spec It rebuild fine, but no oci support, on the spec file of the PHP package it's there the OCI support, it's not --with oci that i should use?

Hello all, my first project is on it''s way, and I am loving it! But, and that''s a big BUT: Active Record does not use prepared statements! How is that? Everybody is bragging about performance and the most obvious tuning measure is missing. Ok, I don''t know, if MySQL can even do them as I am using Postgres, but still. I started looking at the code and it is not

I''m trying to build the ruby-oci8 with the Oracle Instant Client on OS X. The Instant Client works, and the make seems to be ok with it up until OCIInitialize(). Anybody got this to work?
