I'll be starting a new project in a month or two, and the DB will be
Oracle 10g. The project is a strict Java-hack, but I'll want to write
some utility scripts in Ruby to interact with the DB.
I've been scanning the web for information on how to connect to an
Oracle 10g DB, but so far I haven't found anything useful.
Is there any work in progress for a Ruby/DBI (or similar) for Oracle 10g
(or, 9.2 for that matter)?

Thanks. Would that be the Ruby9i driver (by Jim Cain)?
Afaik the dbd_oracle driver supports "old" Oracle DBs (<=8) and the
dbd_oci8 is only verified for 9.0.1 (according to the webpage).
This would allow me to access Oracle 9.2, but I'm still looking for a
way to connect to 10g

DBI comes with Oracle driver that can work with 9.2 at least.

I think what I use is dbd_oci8. Don't remember exactly, I'm not in the
office right now. At least, I do have something that I installed few
months ago and that allows me to talk to Oracle 9.2 via DBI
This would allow me to access Oracle 9.2, but I'm still looking for a
way to connect to 10g
Is it not backwards-compatible as far as clients are concerned?

Coo.. I'll have to give the oci8 driver a try

Not sure... I guess I'll have to check that. But - if the API is
anything similar to the API the JDBC-drivers (thin and oci) uses then
it's *not* backwards-compatible in any way
Any practical experience with Oracle 10g and Ruby out there?
