I’m attempting to debug a script I’ve inherited. I really know nothing  
about ruby so if anyone could point me in the right direction I’d  
appreciate it.

When I try to run my script I get the following output. I think it  
might have something to do with the Oracle environment . . . but I’m not  
sure.
