Oracle has a syntax for nested selects. E.g.

   select a, cursor(select b, ....) .....

In each row fetched from such a select, some of the column
values are themselves result sets.

DBS::Oracle version 1.16 apparently does not support such
select statements. An attempt to prepare such a statement give
the reasonable error message

> Field 2 has an Oracle type (116) which is not explicitly supported

Is anyone thinking about the implementation of the fetching of
nested result sets? If not, I might look at it myself.
