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?
