I started maintaining OCI8 because _I_ was using it quite hard, so I was interested in OCI8 to be stable and feature-rich to make my own life easier. For some reason I expect people to do the same when they really need something, at the very least I expect people to understand that silently waiting (or loudly complaining in their blogs, that's the same) for a good guy that should come and do everything for them is not very productive. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
