Sqitch on Oracle

I found myself with a little unexpected time at work recently, and since we use Oracle (for a few more months), I decided to port Sqitch. Last night, I released v0.970 with full support for Oracle. I did the development against an 11.2 VirtualBox VM, though I think it should work on 10g, as well.

Sqitch is available from the usual locations. For Oracle support, you’ll need the Instant Client, including SQL*Plus. Make sure you have $ORACLE_HOM set and you’ll be ready to install. Via CPAN, it’s

cpan install App::Sqitch DBD::Oracle

Via Homebrew:

brew tap theory/sqitch
brew install sqitch-oracle

Via ActiveState PPM, install ActivePerl, then run:

ppm install App-Sqitch DBD-Oracle

There are a few other minor tweaks and fixed in this release; check the release notes for details.

Want more? I will be giving a half-day tutorial, entitled “Agile Database Development,” on database development with Git, Sqitch, and pgTAP at on May 22 PGCon 2013 in Ottawa, Ontario. Come on up!
