im new one to rails practising rails with sqlite but now it a situation
for
me to use oracle with rails i have tried to configure oracle with rails
but
is show me the following error
activerecord oracle_enhanced adapter could not load ruby-oci8 load
error

but i have installed needed gems for configuring oracle
gem ‘activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter’, ‘~> 1.4.0’
gem ‘ruby-oci8’, ‘~> 2.1.0’
and also i have downloaded oracle instant client but still it does’nt
work
ill be happy if any body give me the step by step explanation on how to
configure oracle?

How did you configure ruby-oci8 in your rails project?

i’ve done gem install rubi-oci8[this is one way which i’ve tried]
when i do this in command prompt it shows ruby-oci8 gem installed…

another method in command prompt i’ve tried ruby *ruby
ruby-oci8-2.1.3-x86-mingw32.gem *
but it doesnt work

could u kindly assist me by giving proper guidance to configure oracle
in
rails
currently using:
rails 3.2.1–ruby1.9.3–os(Windows)

I’ve used it on both Ubuntu and Redhat Linux successfully.
A friendly advice is to prefer a UNIX based environment - Linux or Mac
for
both development and deployment because many of the gems available are
written in native code and would compile only in UNIX.
This might give you some hints:

If it only compiles on Unix how did you get it to compile on Linux?

If you use windows xp for ruby on rails then also please download
development kit and follow the instruction given below

Because Linux is a unix-based operating-system. So is a mac.

Since when is Linux based on Unix?

While you’re at it read:

Good to know, thanks!

I think for ror all platform is good if you have a capability to
configure

In my win 7 it is working fine

It’s been a while since I used Oracle (and never on Windows), but the
instructions here seem to indicate you need to make sure that OCI.DLL is
on
your PATH:

http://ruby-oci8.rubyforge.org/en/file.install-instant-client.html

You may want to try loading IRB and requiring the library directly, by
doing ‘require “oci8”’. If that fails, please post the stack trace +
error
message.
