Thanks for the info. Having Oracle supporting the extensions would be
great,
but I still feel like they should be re-released or something when they are
done.
While the OCI8 ext works with current versions, pdo_oci has been
experimental
for a long time and never reached maturity.

Maybe Christopher Jones can jump in here and shed some light on the matter.

Regards,
Stelian
