Description

I want to try the migration with oracle , looking into 'migrate.go'. I find this code section:
var MigrationDialects = map[string]gorp.Dialect{
"sqlite3": gorp.SqliteDialect{},
"postgres": gorp.PostgresDialect{},
"mysql": gorp.MySQLDialect{Engine: "InnoDB", Encoding: "UTF8"},
"mssql": gorp.SqlServerDialect{},
"oci8": gorp.OracleDialect{},
}
i assume that dbconfig should use 'oci8' , but it's not working.

Reproduce the Oracle migration setup described in the issue and determine what configuration or error prevents it from working; done means a verified working configuration or a documented limitation.
