bind_param_inout_array is an undocumented and implimented feature of DBI spec,
I think DBD::Oracle is the only one that implements it, it doesn't need it but
it is required as it is part of the DBI spec so it needs to take the empty
value.

bind_param_inout is implimented fully on the DBI side so what ever the DBI spec
says it needs it then it needs it.
Hope this helps.
