rake db:migrate hanging w/ oracle

When I run rake db:migrate w/ oracle it hangs on the db:schema:dump part and I am not sure why.

E:\work\sandbox\codeReview>rake db:migrate --trace (in E:/work/sandbox/codeReview) ** Invoke db:migrate (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db:migrate ** Invoke db:schema:dump (first_time) ** Invoke environment ** Execute db:schema:dump

I think I configured my database.yml correctly.

development:   adapter: oracle   host: sid   #database: sid   username: foo   password: 12345   timeout: 5000

Note that it doesn't seem to matter whether I use host or database.

Also I was able to connect directly to my Oracle DB using Ruby and the OCI8 driver.

E:\>ruby -r oci8 -e "OCI8.new('foo','12345','sid').exec('SELECT * from users') do |r| puts r.join(' | ') ; end"

And I did install the activerecord-oracle-adapter.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

It turns out it is not hanging, it is just that the "Execute db:schema:dump" phase takes a long time. In my case it took ten minutes because I had a bunch of tables from other applications in my database.
