Using Oracle databases with Ruby

- Oracle Looking for Rails Developers
- Settings - a configuration hash plugin for Rails
- libxml-ruby 0.8.0 Released: Ruby Gets Fast, Reliable XML Processing At Last


I don't know much about Oracle, but many people have asked about Ruby's support for Oracle. One of my clients is also attempting a project with Rails and Oracle. Here are some useful resources I've found:
Starting with Ruby and Oracle : A pretty comprehensive and up to date tutorial about using Oracle with Ruby. The tutorial is written from a Windows perspective.
Ruby/OCI8 (Oracle Call Interface) : A library that provides an interface between Ruby and Oracle 8.
Ruby Oracle 7 library : An alternative for Oracle 7 users.
Ruby and Oracle : A basic tutorial to setting up Ruby and Ruby's Oracle bindings on a Hewlett Packard UNIX based machine.
Rails and Oracle from the official Rails wiki : A whole ton of (older) information about Rails and Oracle integration.
Ruby Oracle DBI ActiveRecord in 7 steps : An up to date tutorial on how to get ActiveRecord running with an Oracle database in 7 easy(ish) steps.
