I tried this, which worked before:

sudo gem install activerecord-oracle-adapter --source  
[http://gems.rubyonrails.org](http://gems.rubyonrails.org)  
–no-ri --no-rdoc

But all I get is:

ERROR: could not find activerecord-oracle-adapter locally or in a  
repository

Anyone else able to install the Oracle adapter?

I presume they can/do but the name has to be right…

# gem search --remote oracle

\*\*\* REMOTE GEMS \*\*\*

Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/)  
activerecord-oracle\_enhanced-adapter (1.1.0)

note the underscore between oracle and enhanced

Craig,

I think activerecord-oracle\_enhanced-adapter is different from  
activerecord-oracle-adapter. See the link below.

Yes it’s different. Raimonds forked activerecord-oracle-adapter to  
activerecord-oracle-enhanced-adapter.

We’re having the same problem as Nate.

@Craig: that’s not the oracle adapter but an enhanced one. We may be  
forced to try it if the normal one continues to be AWOL.
