From: Namit Jain Date: 2009-08-20T18:06:34+09:00 Subject: `init': OCI Library Initialization Error (DBI::DatabaseError Hi All I tried to connect Oracle with Ruby but on executing the ruby script it gave the following error `init': OCI Library Initialization Error (DBI::DatabaseError}. To connect to DB I had the following configuration Installed Ruby 1.8.6 I verified that OCI.dll is present in bin folder of Oracle. Included oci8.rb in the script. My test script just uses a single query to get result form the DB. Which is resultSet1=fireQuery('SELECT item_id FROM item WHERE item_id =?',4120788) This script require another rb file that is DBConnect(I have attached this file for everyone's reference) The error displayed refers to the line no 52 of oci8.rb which is "@@env = OCIEnv.init()"I read several documentation but still I am not able to figure out where the problem is. Online search showed that oraociei10.dll should be present where the oci.dll is present. I did this also and copied this dll where the oci.dll is present but still I got the same error. Please let me know where I am going error. Sorry If I am doing some fundamental thing wrong, but please help me out. Please Ask for more information in case I have missed out something. Any kind of help will be highly appreciated Thanks Namit Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/3952/DBConnect.rb -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
