Having searched the net, I see that oracle is not supported by rails on
a mac osx Intel.
Now this may be due to the fact that Oracle is being slow to supply
intel based binaries
of their drivers, but I find it odd that osx is so well supported, yet
this gaping hole
exists.
I did find an ODBC driver for osx/intel that works to oracle, but of
course there is no
ODBC driver for Rails that will talk to oracle. It seems every turn is
blocked.
Anyone have any good news for me?
How hard would it be for me to hack the oracle adapter to use ODBC
instead of OCI8? Any
ideas? (I looked briefly but I am not yet familiar with the database
adapter code).
Thanks
