Subject: Connecting to a remote Oracle DB

Hello everyone,

using the ruby Oracle driver I connect to a local db with the following
code:

conn = Oracle.new('username', 'passwd', '')

how can i connect to a remore to a remote database?

I have the ip and port (lets say 10.0.0.1 and 9999)

I tried Oracle.new('username', 'passwd', '10.0.0.1:9999') but this
doesnt work :( Any ideas?

thanks in advance,
George Moschovitis
