Forum OpenACS Q&A: Where does the Oracle driver live?

Posted by Lars Pind on 10/08/02 10:15 AM

I just got burned by the Oracle driver, because I had forgotten to
provide the Password parameter to two of the three pools. Ugh.

That caused the oracle driver to simply die on a nullpointer, with
no descriptive error message whatsoever. It took me a while to
figure out what went wrong.

So now, to prevent anyone from getting burnt like this in the
future, I'd like to add a check for this to the driver, so it can
error gracefully.

Where does the Oracle driver source code live? Where can I submit
the patch?

Thanks,
/Lars

I am now one of the maintainers at sourceforge so if you send me a patch I will commit it.

Thanks. I want to make sure I grab the latest version first, though, so I can patch against that. Wheere do I get that?

On a related note -- has or has not been postgres driver imported in AOLServer SF CVS?
