Please, set this aside, I'll come back when I'll have a clearer picture on this. By: Michel Blanc Post-fork "require 'oci8'" yields ORA-12154 [ reply ]   2011-12-11 17:25 Dear All, I'm experiencing issues with ruby-oci8 (2.0.6) under MRI 1.9.3. When I require oci8 and then fork, everything is fine, but when I first fork and then requiring oci8, I get an oci error : ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified So it seems that oci8 doesn't like to be required after a fork. I checked the environment and everything seems fine (ORACLE_HOME). I've put two samples on a gist here : https://gist.github.com/1461598 (oracle_NOK.rb is the one yielding the error, oracle_OK.rb works fine). There are many workarounds in my case (I could "preload" oci8 in my rackup file, set RUBYOPTS, etc...), so that's not critical to me, but I think this issue (if it's confirmed) is worth being looked at. Thanks for your time and attention. Michel.
