Hi Luis Fernando, glad you asked :) The documentation is ... well... not much ;) The best thing is probably to start with the existing MySQL module. HOWEVER, I myself would be very interested in a native, high-performing Oracle driver. I neither have the expertise to do it not the test environment.
If you like, we could collaborate on this effort. I'd create a skeleton output module for you, guide you through using it and you provide the Oracle bits to it (that should be fairly easy). Of course, that means your module would need to be contributed back to the project. What do you think about this?
