Don't use Perl DBI with Oracle. Oracle is not well supported.
New data types and features like direct load or evven array interface
are
not supported. The author of the DBI is promoting open source databases
at the expense of Oracle and is not doing anything to fix the driver.
I am creating my own version of the DBD::Oracle and I will distribute
it
independently of CPAN. It will still be based on Tim's code, but with
the
patches for array interface and direct load. Unfortunately, I'll have
to
slightly change the semantics of bind_param_array and execute_array.
