Well, we have the Oracle Midgard lib merged with the MySQL version.
This library is stable enough to be released.
But the api is not enough transparent to be used,
the php functions are in a different state.
Every day we have a new surprise with Oracle.
The last one: a result column in a select cannot be more than 4Kb without
using blobs
So a little gymnastics is necessary.
So I promised a version for this week but it's not stable enough.
If somebody wants to port Midgard to another db,
I can send to you own work on Oracle now.

As Midgard 2 is better designed to support native db interfaces
I think the first clean Oracle release will be in this version.
Previous Oracle version, based on Midgard 1.2.5,
will be released not cleanly merged.
