I don't think we (OACS 4) have modified the oracle driver.

As far as I remember, the nspostgres in AOLserver stagnated in time.
postgres.c available from the OpenACS 3 tree on sourceforge is a much
enhanced PostgreSQL driver, with memory management cleanups, performance
improvements, pseudo-bind variables, etc.

I don't think anyone from the OACS camp who improved the driver has commit
privs to the AOLserver tree.
