Have you ever asked: “how I can install TOra or Oracle client for my favourite language into my suse system?”
It was always a pain mainly due the brilliant Oracle licensing policy. Now it should be a little bit easier – just because I started special repositories with Oracle related packages.
Now it contains:
- TOra, universal DB development/admin tool, stable version
- TOra development snapshot
- python-cx_Oracle, Python bindings to Oracle
- php5-pecl-oci8, PHP binding to Oracle
- misc packages required to build software mentioned above
Of course there can be more – I’m open to suggestions (and contributions too of course).
Please, follow the instruction on the main page of the project.

Ha! It’s done. Tora is build-able natively in the Windows environment. Pretty Cool (TM). And it’s usable perfectly (in the case you like pre-pre-alpha software).
The best thing at all is this one — win master Christoph Kuemmel-Schulte did a perfect job with packaging TOra with all required libraries so it can be used for ODBC, MySQL, and PostgreSQL too. So long Toolkit for Oracle, welcome universal database client.
Perfectly tuned cmd.exe with TOra linking:
TOra is running. Woohoo! It’s running natively (MSVC compiler):
Strange GUI in X11
A ten-point-question for Qt gurus — have you ever seen this ugly behaviour?
Menu is wrongly sized, fonts in lineedits is too small, tool tips are cut… And all others Qt4 apps are correct. Insane.

when TOra builds and links against Oracle. No crashes at start, it connects and performs basic tasks. And now to the sad issues – it’s far from being usable. See screenshot:

Time is unstoppable and SW libraries too. Brave old Qt3 is facing its death and so do applications depending on it. Maybe there is a place for a courageous attempt. Let’s port TOra into armful of Qt4.
What it will be required?
- New buildsystem (cmake? qmake?).
- Qscintilla2 port. It’s not released yet so it should be in src tree
- Upgrade included libraries to the latest versions. Ouch, testing to come…
- Run all file through qt3-to-qt4 tools
- Fix and Recompile again and again like a masturbating monkey
- Have party
Ghosh, I don’t like to read old code. Do you believe there are ifdefs checking Qt features *before* 2.x!?
