Laravel-OCI8 is an Oracle Database Driver package for Laravel 4. Laravel-OCI8 is an extension of Illuminate/Database that uses CrazyCodr/pdo-via-oci8 to communicate with Oracle.
The PDO-via-OCI8 package is a simple userspace driver for PDO that uses the tried and tested OCI8 functions instead of using the still experimental and not all that functionnal PDO_OCI library.
Also note that this package is highly dependant on jfelder/oracledb for all the grammar portion. No need to reinvent the wheel...
Add crazycodr/laravel-oci8 as a requirement to composer.json:
{
"require": {
"crazycodr/laravel-oci8": "*"
}
}And then run composer update
Once Composer has installed or updated your packages you need to register the service provider. Open up app/config/app.php and find the providers key and add:
'CrazyCodr\Oci8\Oci8ServiceProvider'Finally you need to setup a valid database configuration using the driver "pdo-via-oci8". Configure your connection as usual with:
'connection-name' => array(
'host' => 'something',
'port' => 'something',
'username' => 'something',
'password' => 'something',
'charset' => 'something',
'prefix' => 'something',
)And run your laravel installation...
Just like the built-in database drivers, you can use the connection method to access the oracle database(s) you setup in the database config file.
See Laravel 4 Database Basic Docs for more information.
