Well, the PHP version that is installed doesn't support the PDO version that 
PDO_OCI needs. So we need to upgrade the PHP version and doing that could 
break something on the apps installed.

In fact, on development we use postgreSQL but on production we must use 
oracle because the tables already exists on the oracle database. We can use 
postgres or Mysql , the production machines have the drivers required, but 
by doing that we must copy some tables from oracle database to our postgres 
or mysql databse that means copy information that eventually will be 
duplicated.
