Use rake to generate a model for your existing table in Oracle (once you have set up the database.yml in config, as Francois already said)..."rake generate model Foo". Then, use the line "set_table_name 'bar'" in the model class to specify the Oracle table name. You may also have to use commands like that to set the primary key, etc.
Fromthere you can generate a scaffold, "rake generate scaffold Foo". If prompted, don't overwrite the existing model class file. That will give you scaffold views into your existing Oracle data.
