 == REQUIREMENTS:
 
-* Works (has been tested) with ActiveRecord version 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 (these are the same as Rails versions)
-* Requires ruby-oci8 library to connect to Oracle
+* Works (has been tested) with ActiveRecord version 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 (these are the same as Rails versions)
+* Can be used on the following Ruby platforms:
+  * MRI - requires ruby-oci8 1.x or 2.x library to connect to Oracle
+  * Ruby/YARV 1.9.1 - requires ruby-oci8 2.x library to connect to Oracle
+    unicode_utils gem is recommended for Unicode aware string upcase and downcase
+  * JRuby - uses JDBC driver ojdbc14.jar to connect to Oracle (should be in JRUBY_HOME/lib or in PATH)
 * Requires ruby-plsql gem to support custom create, update and delete methods (but can be used without ruby-plsql if this functionality is not needed)

-      # This is an Oracle/OCI adapter for the ActiveRecord persistence
-      # framework. It relies upon the OCI8 driver, which works with Oracle 8i
-      # and above. Most recent development has been on Debian Linux against
-      # a 10g database, ActiveRecord 1.12.1 and OCI8 0.1.13.
-      # See: http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/
-      #
-      # Usage notes:
-      # * Key generation assumes a "${table_name}_seq" sequence is available
-      #   for all tables; the sequence name can be changed using
-      #   ActiveRecord::Base.set_sequence_name. When using Migrations, these
-      #   sequences are created automatically.
-      # * Oracle uses DATE or TIMESTAMP datatypes for both dates and times.
-      #   Consequently some hacks are employed to map data back to Date or Time
-      #   in Ruby. If the column_name ends in _time it's created as a Ruby Time.
-      #   Else if the hours/minutes/seconds are 0, I make it a Ruby Date. Else
-      #   it's a Ruby Time. This is a bit nasty - but if you use Duck Typing
-      #   you'll probably not care very much. In 9i and up it's tempting to
-      #   map DATE to Date and TIMESTAMP to Time, but too many databases use
-      #   DATE for both. Timezones and sub-second precision on timestamps are
-      #   not supported.
-      # * Default values that are functions (such as "SYSDATE") are not
-      #   supported. This is a restriction of the way ActiveRecord supports
-      #   default values.
-      # * Support for Oracle8 is limited by Rails' use of ANSI join syntax, which
-      #   is supported in Oracle9i and later. You will need to use #finder_sql for
-      #   has_and_belongs_to_many associations to run against Oracle8.
-      #
-      # Required parameters:
-      #
-      # * <tt>:username</tt>
-      # * <tt>:password</tt>
-      # * <tt>:database</tt>

+    # This is an Oracle/OCI adapter for the ActiveRecord persistence
+    # framework. It relies upon the OCI8 driver, which works with Oracle 8i
+    # and above. Most recent development has been on Debian Linux against
+    # a 10g database, ActiveRecord 1.12.1 and OCI8 0.1.13.
+    # See: http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/
+    #
+    # Usage notes:
+    # * Key generation assumes a "${table_name}_seq" sequence is available
+    #   for all tables; the sequence name can be changed using
+    #   ActiveRecord::Base.set_sequence_name. When using Migrations, these
+    #   sequences are created automatically.
+    # * Oracle uses DATE or TIMESTAMP datatypes for both dates and times.
+    #   Consequently some hacks are employed to map data back to Date or Time
+    #   in Ruby. If the column_name ends in _time it's created as a Ruby Time.
+    #   Else if the hours/minutes/seconds are 0, I make it a Ruby Date. Else
+    #   it's a Ruby Time. This is a bit nasty - but if you use Duck Typing
+    #   you'll probably not care very much. In 9i and up it's tempting to
+    #   map DATE to Date and TIMESTAMP to Time, but too many databases use
+    #   DATE for both. Timezones and sub-second precision on timestamps are
+    #   not supported.
+    # * Default values that are functions (such as "SYSDATE") are not
+    #   supported. This is a restriction of the way ActiveRecord supports
+    #   default values.
+    # * Support for Oracle8 is limited by Rails' use of ANSI join syntax, which
+    #   is supported in Oracle9i and later. You will need to use #finder_sql for
+    #   has_and_belongs_to_many associations to run against Oracle8.
+    #
+    # Required parameters:
+    #
+    # * <tt>:username</tt>
+    # * <tt>:password</tt>
+    # * <tt>:database</tt>
