Re: [Pharo-users] Best method for connecting to an Oracle 11g database

[Aaron Blakeman]

Hi,

I was trying garage, but I was using the instructions for installation from
here: https://guillep.github.io/DBXTalk/garage/installation.html

I was able to load garage from https://github.com/pharo-rdbms, but the
method described at
https://guillep.github.io/DBXTalk/garage/installation.html for loading the
opendbx drivers don't appear to work.  I'll play around with it a bit more.

Thanks!
Aaron

At the time my company tested Pharo to access Oracle databases, the
OpenDBX driver support was lousy and it was hard to make it work in
Windows. Also Garage isn't tested against it.

So our resolution was that Oracle isn't supported by any driver for
Pharo unless you are in Windows and can use ODBC to access it (and I
don't know the current ODBC driver status for recent Pharo versions).

Regards!
