I'm trying to connect to a remote oracle database and I am receiving an
OCI Error (see below). Here is what I've done thus far:
- I've added the most recent OCI8 gem for windows. It is in the
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8 folder.
- I've installed Oracle's instant client and set the TNS_ADMIN variable
to the instant client path.
- I've added the instant_client path to the windows path environment
variable.
- I've configured the database like this:
adapter: oci
username: my_db
password: my_db
host: //hostname.company.com:1521/my_sid
- I do have a client tool which can access this database via jdbc and
odbc, so I know the database can be accessed.
- A test through Ruby versus RadRails reveals the same error.
I've done everything I can think of so any assistance will be
appreciated.
When trying to generate a scaffold I receive this error:

I've found that I had multiple OCI gems, so I eliminated the one I
didn't want. I now am able to build a scaffold but cannot access the
data.
After frustrating myself enough for one day, I reverted backward a
version (I think it was 15) of the OCI8 gem and my connectivity is now
working. The messages in the error were none existant other than what
I provided before, which was a basic OCIError. I'll leave it up to the
author now to correct the issue, which may be related to Windows XP
Professional. When I reach a production version, I'll try again with
the latest version.
