I'd try the newest (8.1.7, last I checked) JDBC drivers, even if
you stick with the older DB. They're generally backward-compatible, and
it may be that those features were only enabled in a recent driver
release.

I don't know that the thin drivers are faster - after all, they do
everything in Java instead of the OCI native code. But I've never
*noticed* a speed difference, and the thin drivers are *way* easier to
manage (no need to worry about dynamic libraries, TNSNAMES.ORA,
etc.). Let's just say there are a lot of optimizations I'd perform
elsewhere before I switched from thin to OCI...
