Ruby/Rails and Oracle

It's not so much a driver issue as an issue of the SQL your
OR mapper
generates.  They could have created an Oracle 8i dialect for
Active
Record, if that is possible.  The issue is that 8i does not
support the
ANSI join syntax as in this example:

9i syntax (ANSI):

SELECT pub_name, title
FROM publishers
INNER JOIN titles ON publishers.pub_id = titles.pub_id

You would have to rewrite it like this:

8i syntax:

SELECT pub_name, title
FROM publishers, titles
where publishers.pub_id = titles.pub_id

I looked in the source. Aha! First parameter to
RequiredIfOtherField is
the *name* of the field (a string, not a field).

Please try and report ...

By the way, where did you find any documentation about this
at all?
