Hi, all.  I just started using sequel today, and it is awesome!  Some 
questions...


*Oracle Driver?
*
I don't have an Oracle data base available to test, but will be teaching 
someone Ruby who will have an Oracle data base he wants to access using 
Sequel.

Will he need to install any additional gems, like ruby-oci8?  I'm hoping 
not, because I just tried, and had ruby-oci8's native extension fail to 
build on both MacOS and Linux.


*JDBC in JRuby*

Also, I'd like to be able to use Sequel in both MRI Ruby and JRuby.  For 
JRuby, will I be able to use the standard (that is, not JDBC) drivers?  
Even if so, I would like to know how to use the JDBC driver. It looks from 
the documentation at 
http://sequel.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Sequel/Database.html that JDBC is 
used like the other drivers, but I can't find out how/where the JDBC driver 
class is specified. From a brief inspection of the code, it looks like 
SQLite, MySQL, and Postgres are supported out of the box, and I might not 
need to tell Sequel anything about the driver class.  But what will I need 
to do for Oracle?

Also, links to any resources (blog articles, screencasts, slideshows, etc.) 
about using Sequel with JDBC and/or Oracle would be greatly appreciated.

Great stuff, Jeremy!

Thanks for any help,
Keith
