Perhaps not he right pleace - but is any work being done to make
Rails work with Oracle. Until I can connect Rails to an existing
"serious" database (corporate speak), then I won't get Rails (or
Ruby) considered as a serious web development framework. I guess what
is really needed is a DBI style level of indirection for any database.
Is it coming?

We just added drivers for DB2 and MS SQL Server, so I'd say we got two "serious" databases covered. And Maik, the author of the DB2 adapter, already has much of the Oracle adapter running. So yes, it's coming. And looks to be fairly shortly too.
