API Reference

You can use four APIs using and depending on ruby-oci8.

1. ruby-oci8 native API
2. ruby-dbi
3. ActiveRecord
4. Og (ObjectGraph)

This is a native API of ruby-oci8. It consist of two layers. One is 'high-level API'. The other is 'low-level API'. Use the former for your application. The latter is not available on ruby-oci8 2.0.x, the developing version.

• ruby-oci8 API
• ruby-oci8 low-level API (don't use this.)

ruby-oci8 includes DBD::OCI8, DBD Driver for Oracle Database. You can use ruby-dbi API also.

• DBD::OCI8

ActiveRecord is an ORM(object-relational mapping) library of Ruby on Rails. It includes Oracle support, which uses ruby-oci8.

• Rails: Complete API
• Oracle on Rails Wiki

Og (ObjectGraph) is an another ORM(object-relational mapping) library. I don't know how to use it. :-<
