REQUIREMENTS:

• Works (has been tested) with ActiveRecord version 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 (these are the same as Rails versions)

• Can be used on the following Ruby platforms:

  • MRI - requires ruby-oci8 1.x or 2.x gem to connect to Oracle (2.0.3 or later recommended)

  • Ruby/YARV 1.9.1 - requires ruby-oci8 2.x library to connect to Oracle unicode_utils gem is recommended for Unicode aware string upcase and downcase

  • JRuby - uses JDBC driver ojdbc14.jar to connect to Oracle (should be in JRUBY_HOME/lib or in Java class path)

• Requires ruby-plsql gem to support custom create, update and delete methods (but can be used without ruby-plsql if this functionality is not needed)

INSTALL:

• sudo

  gem install activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter

In addition install either ruby-oci8 (for MRI/YARV) or copy Oracle JDBC driver to $JRUBY_HOME/lib (for JRuby).
