Greetings! First off - thank you for such a cool piece of software. The ruote workflow has such a rich toolset - it will save us tons of time no doubt.
We are attempting to use ruote in a Rails 3 environment with a sequel storage solution (ruote-sequel) using an Oracle db backend via the ruby-oci8 adapter. We got it to work... but still have some lingering ruote-sequel implementation questions especially concerning the 'DOC' column in the 'DOCUMENTS' table used by ruote. For example, in the 'create_table' method in storage.rb, the definition for the :doc column is String with :text => true. In the oracle world, I assume that should translate to a CLOB column type. Is that correct? Or is a VARCHAR2 column type big enough (max 4000 characters I believe). If there is a possibility for the data in the doc column to be larger than the 4000 limit, then the CLOB type will need to be supported. We experimented by calling the '.read' method of the passed back <OCI8::CLOB> object in storage.rb (extracting the text from the column). This seems to work, but we are wondering if anyone else has already done this? And is this really necessary if a simple VARCHAR2 type will be large enough? Any insight on this would be much appreciated!
