I would recommend going out and buying a copy of Pragmatic Programmers
Programming Ruby 2nd Ed.  The 1st Ed. is available online for free at
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/

I know Ruby-DBI supports Oracle (not sure about your specific version) chec=

it out here http://ruby-dbi.rubyforge.org/

Where can download RedHat and Windows version of Ruby?
