Does acts_as_taggable work with Oracle?

I’m using acts_as_taggable just fine with my Oracle database using the
oci driver, until I try to either use the tags_count, or tagged_related.

For tags_count I can get the default hash table fine, but if I try to
provide a filter like “count > 3”, I get an error:

Content.tags_count(:count=>’>3’)

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: OCIError: ORA-00904: “COUNT”: invalid
identifier
: SELECT tags.id AS id, tags.name AS name, COUNT(*) AS count FROM
contents_tags,
content_table, tags WHERE contents_tags.tag_id = tags.id
AND contents_tags.content_id = content_table.content_id
GROUP BY
tags.id,tags.name HAVING count >3 ORDER BY count DESC

This should be allowed, from the docs:

+:count+: Adds a HAVING clause to the SQL statement, where you can set
conditions for the ‘count’ column. For example: ‘> 50’

But Oracle doesn’t like the final result. Is there some special tweak
I’m supposed to make to the HAVING clause work properly?
