<p>Does anyone know of any specific DSL implementations used to import legacy Oracle database schemas. I have tried to just run db:schema:dump on my existing db I want to port to a new ruby app. However, the rake dies about halfway through with out any error. It kinda just locks up. I started looking for the best way to tackle this and found examples of how to override some stuff for SQLServer but not much for Oracle. </p>

<p>I basically want to pull in the schema and generate a scaffold and model from it.</p>

<p>Is there a more simple way to do this or will I have to invent the wheel?</p>

did you try
```
rake --trace
```
?
By the way Oracle legacy schemas is a small cottage industry.
