I have been looking into the possibility of using CakePHP with an
Oracle database.

Some important issues that have been already pointed out are in this
thread by Dave Rogers:
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/f338fe4aa0c9d98/ba4bfb2be5ff16e1?lnk=gst&q=oracle&rnum=1

Most importantly:
"* PHP OCI functions do not return the table, so everything was being
  put into the [0] array, which caused problems if the column name
  from different tables were used. "

And, more specifically, there is no oci function that is similar to
this:
http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_field

This breaks the desired behavior for query results.

The other items he points out are generally solvable.

If there were to be a proposed work around, should the result be more
in this form $resultRow[$this->currentModel][$model], or maybe even
$resultRow[$column] instead of $resultRow[$table][$column] ?

I am aware the above may have some implications but how far reaching?
What are your thoughts?

Clayton
