I am sorry to have made a mess of my code example + output. The output
is a cut and past of two different versions. In the output, the ODBC
driver was mentioned, while I didn't use it in the script.
It should read

dbi:ODBC:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:312:in `load_driver': Could
not load driver (uninitialized constant OCI8::Driver)
(DBI::InterfaceError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:154:in `_get_full_driver'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:139:in `connect'
from leeseb4:18

The problem is solved now; I have put OCI8.rb in the db folder and got
it from ttp://ruby-oci8.rubyforge.org/svn/branches/ruby-oci8-1.0/lib/dbd/OCI8.rb

Thanks for helping,

Ruud
