Unfortunetaly I did not see Oracle there. If Oracle would be there then they would see that 90% of Rubyists use Macs and then they would pay more attention to <a href="http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=481059" rel="nofollow">providing Oracle Instant Client for Intel Mac</a>. I went to IBM session and it was nice to hear that IBM is developing DB2 Rails adapter by themselves and that they will release DB2 Express-C database on Mac too. I would be very glad if Oracle would do the same as well.
