I have this nagging suspicion that if a request which is making an oci8 request is terminated in situ by the client, that that oracle session is terminated (naturally without error). I looked through the oci8 extension code and I don't see why this would happen, but I would like to get some more educated opinions than mine regarding this. Anyone know?
