ruby-plsql

• rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-plsql/

DESCRIPTION:

ruby-plsql gem provides simple Ruby API for calling Oracle PL/SQL procedures. ruby-plsql support both Ruby 1.8 MRI, Ruby 1.9.1 YARV and JRuby runtime environments. This gem requires ruby-oci8 library version 1.x (if MRI is used) or 2.x (if Ruby 1.9.1 is used) or Oracle JDBC driver (ojdbc14.jar) (if JRuby is used) for connection to Oracle database.

See blog.rayapps.com for more information.

Look ar RSpec tests under spec directory for usage examples.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• Currently just NUMBER, VARCHAR2, DATE, TIMESTAMP, CLOB, BLOB argument types are supported for PL/SQL procedures

SYNOPSIS:

Usage examples:

require "ruby_plsql"

plsql.connection = OCI8.new("hr","hr","xe")

plsql.test_uppercase(‘xxx’) # => "XXX" plsql.test_uppercase(:p_string => ‘xxx’) # => "XXX" plsql.test_copy("abc", nil, nil) # => { :p_to => "abc", :p_to_double => "abcabc" } plsql.test_copy(:p_from => "abc", :p_to => nil, :p_to_double => nil)

                                         # => { :p_to => "abc", :p_to_double => "abcabc" }

plsql.hr.test_uppercase(‘xxx’) # => "XXX" plsql.test_package.test_uppercase(‘xxx’) # => ‘XXX’

plsql.logoff

If using with Rails then include in initializer file:

plsql.activerecord_class = ActiveRecord::Base

and then you do not need to specify plsql.connection (this is also safer when ActiveRecord reestablishes connection to database).
