Have we lost the Oracle driver?

A long time ago I used to access Oracle directly from a LiveCode app. For some years now I've only done this via ODBC, though I don't recall why that changed. The Dictionary entry for revOpenDatabase lists five variants ("mysql", "odbc", "sqlite", "postgresql", "oracle"); but the User Guide
