I installed 1.8.2_rc8 and received an application error on OCI.dll
when
I run sqlsh.rb from the ruby/bin directory. Is there anything I can do
abt it?
Looks like it tries to connect to load an Oracle dll that isn't there.
From what I can see it does that to see what Oracle databases are there.
On my system I get:
c:\>sqlsh
USAGE: c:/bin/ruby/bin/sqlsh.rb [--file file] driver_url [user
[password] ]
Available driver and datasources:
dbi:ODBC:
dbi:ODBC:MS Access Database
dbi:ODBC:Excel Files
dbi:ODBC:dBASE Files
dbi:ODBC:Xtreme Sample Database
dbi:ODBC:CodeReview7PrefsDB
dbi:ODBC:CodeReview7RulesDB
dbi:Oracle:
<<< Error occures here >>>
dbi:Proxy:
So going by the USAGE message I tried:
c:\>sqlsh dbi:ODBC:CodeReview7RulesDB
CONNECT TO dbi:ODBC:CodeReview7RulesDB
dbi =>
Which seems to have connected my to an existing ODBC db. I guess you
have to specity a database for the sql-shell (have never used it myself.
Pardon me if this is an obvious question. I'm just picking up
Ruby today. Thank you.
