there's no official support from Oracle for Freebsd even if some guys
succeded to make the tweak.

Sure :). I'll change that
Btw, i've got one question about libdbi integer types...
Oracle does not make any difference between 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes integer (from
an OCI point of vue).
So, as far i've seen about libdbi implementation of datatype (use of unions
and checks on the integer type flag), there 's no easy and pretty way to
deal with it.... does all other libbdi drivers have no problems like that ?
Vincent.
