Need help with oracle adapter

Hi all,
I have been struggling with this problem for a while.
I cannot insert into a table (simple action) with auto-increment
mechanism.

I have got:
rvm with ruby 1.8.7
gem -v is: 1.6.2
rails -v is" 3.0.5
ruby-oci8 1.0.6
activerecord-oracle-adapter, not the enhanced one,
the version I used is 1.0.0.9250.

all above versions are required.

I created a table " programs" with primary key id.
I also created a sequence for auto-increment. : programs_seq
I also created a trigger before insert into that table:
programs_trigger

The table name is programs, therefore, the model name is program

class Program < ActiveRecord::Base
set_primary_key “id”
set_sequence_name “programs_seq”
end

when i try to insert into that table via sqlplus is works, but when I
use rails console I could not, it gives me along errors or exceptions
with primary key,

First part of the errors:
NoMethodError: undefined method `primary_key’ for
#ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::OracleAdapter:0xb728b434

It is very long message, sorry about that.

Please help, I searched for a solution but with no luck.
any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,
Faisal

Have you tried the enhanced one? I seem to recall that is the actively
maintained one.

Thank you Fred,
Yes I could have used that, but as a requirement from host, I must use
the old adapter not the enhanced one.

You’ll probably need to use an older version of rails (ie 2.x) then

other available solutions.

activerecord-oracle-adapter’s last official version of Rails it worked
with
was Rails 2 (2.1 if I recall correctly). It was replaced years ago
by activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter which works with Rails 2.3.* and
Rails 3. If you wish to use the older adapter you are going to have to
use
an earlier version of Rails 2. I would suggest you tell your host to get
with the times and install activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter. If they
refuse then you are stuck with having to use an older version of Rails
2. At
that point I would seriously consider switching hosting providers.

Thank you for you help Bryan, I am very satisfied by our answer.
I will try to tell my host that to upgrade their environment.

Thank for all who tried to help and also thanks for Fred for early
answer.

Cheers all,
