 ... and even then you have to be a bit careful; some of the OCI examples for Advanced Queueing don't compile; the corrections are simple enough once you understand what the code is doing (they has the type definition for RAW payload messages wrong in the version of the manual I was looking at), but it throws you slightly when you're trying to learn the stuff.

 I've found the OCI documentation fairly hard to follow; it's quite detailed on individual functions, but slightly misses the mark on pulling it all together into a working program. Admittedly I'm far more used to C++ than C, so that's probably most of the problem (I've had a look at OCCI, but OTL looks more promising for the moment since it covers older versions too).
