Our Oracle representatives here (Israel) discourage using OCI as an "official" Oracle policy. Sometime in the future they are going to stop supporting OCI. However, I can't see this being done in the near future because there are so many things that simply can't be done using oracle precompilers, and this results in many important Oracle customers using OCI.
