Rails + Oracle: is it worth the hassle?

Question

Does Rails and Oracle Sound Architectural? My concern is that Oracle will be too "heavy and hi-end" for Rails. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Answer 1

Rails database requirements more or less boil down to tables, indexes, and CRUDs.

Everything that provides these functions should be able to serve as a back-end for a Rails application, and Oracle certainly does these parts somewhere in the midst of an extensive set of bloat functions . If you can use ActiveRecord migrations, you don’t need to worry too much about platform-specific aspects.
