Oracle comes to the party

Shout it from the roof tops (or something)...

Almost a year ago I gave Oracle a serve for ignoring the Intel Mac. In particular, the PPC only Instant Client has had developers tearing their hair out - not being able to link to Instant Client means all sorts of horrible hacks like developing in a WinXP VM, or running your application PPC only under Rosetta.

Thankfully Oracle has now come to the party and will release Instant Client for Intel Mac sometime in the next few weeks.

I've been fortunate enough to beta test, and I'm happy to report it does what it says on the box.

$file libclntsh.dylib libclntsh.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

Intel native Python; Intel native cx_Oracle. Perfect.

Special thanks to Kuassi Mensah of Oracle, who has been a fierce insider advocate of Mac/OS X.

It's the product of a little elbow grease, the news.ycombinator noprocrast feature, and a healthy dose of Django.

A Django site.
