Hello! I'll try to answer as much as I can.

It's not mandatory and not even recommended. A most common model for 
running Django is multi-process. What made you think otherwise, BTW?

I'd say it's like that for all cases, not some. AFAIK most databases 
start transactions implicitly anyway. And though I didn't use an Oracle 
backend myself I can judge by other people using it that it works good 
too. So in practice it's not a bug.

Anyway in your backend you can issue any starting statements for a 
connection in the overridden cursor() method.

You mean that a database can be configured to run something 
automatically on each connect? If yes then the fact that Django doesn't 
account for this situation may be considered a bug, yes. However I'd say 
that doing specific server-side things that require a client to react is 
not a good design. If something should be done upon opening and before 
closing a connection it's better done on Django side completely. A 
custom database backend gives you an API for this.

And about this I don't know anything, sorry!
