Subject: Re: Witch Oracle library should I use

Hi,

I'm new on this mailing list. My name is Ulf , lives in Sweden and  
been developing for Oracle for many, many years. Used to work for  
Oracle for 10 years.
I've been studying and learning  Ruby for aroune 2 months now and has  
done some work with Ruby and Oracle.
As suggested i would defenly say go for Ruby/OCI8

There are some good introductions on how to use Ruby with Oracle on  
OTN (Oracle Technology Network)

See the following links:

Kindly Rgds
/Ulf
