title: Using Oracle database with CakePHP 2.0
body: <p>I have noticed there's no datasource for Oracle in CakePHP 2.0 for the moment, although it seems they are working on in it now: <a href="http://ask.cakephp.org/questions/view/any_news_about_oracle_datasource_with_cakephp_2_0" rel="nofollow">http://ask.cakephp.org/questions/view/any_news_about_oracle_datasource_with_cakephp_2_0</a></p>
  
  <p>There are some people explaining how to use an Oracle DB adapting some code from CakePHP 1.3:

  <p>But I'm not sure that's the correct way. If it was so simple, they would have released the feature already for CakePHP 2.X...</p>
  
  <p>Would I have any trouble using that <em>"cheat"</em>?</p>
  
  <p>I want to connect CakePHP with PL/SQL procedures and a desktop application and they are working over Oracle. I can not change that.</p>
