Hi -- I thought I'd just echo this once with a "PATCH" subject, in case it went by without catching anyone's eye. My apologies if someone has already jumped on this!
Thanks and cheers, Chris. > It's been a very long time since I looked at the Oracle DB support > in APR ... my apologies! > > I bumped into a bug recently (actually, in APR-util 1.5.x but it's > also in APR trunk) where CLOBs are not readable due to a failed > check on the val->type in dbd_oracle_get_entry() in dbd/apr_dbd_oracle.c. > > In the surrounding switch statement, val->type has been determined to > be one of the Oracle SQLT_BLOB or SQLT_CLOB values.
