Hi...

I'm using an modified oracle module from ser dev implementation, it
lacks raw_query, fetch_result and replace functions and needs more
testing as well.

I Was waiting to have time to finish it before to send to the tracker,
but if you want to give it a try, i could send it to you.

I havent tested it for memory leaks, so its possible to have.

It's pretty stable in our test environment, but i never tested with a
high load.

Best regards
