PS Sorry for the HUGE cope paste

#<Job cus_uid_pk: #, cus_name: “HENRY JR TORRES”, svo_uid_pk: #, slo_uid_pk: #,

ive also added this code into hopes of force integer handling
im using rails 2.0.2 and oracle-adapter from http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/adapters/oracle/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/
since the gem install is broken.
I have also tried adding more code to force an integer relation

select_all(table_cols, name).map do |row|
limit, scale = row['limit'], row['scale']
#patch map NUMBER , where column names ends with _pk or _fk to NUMBER(38)
if (row['name'] =~ /_pk$/i || row['name'] =~ /_fk$/i )
row['limit'] = 38
end
if limit || scale
row['sql_type'] < 0 ? “,#{scale})” : “)”)

# 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:
#
# * :username
# * :password
# * :database
