Status: Open
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Operating System: Fedora Core 4.2
PHP Version: 5.1.2
New Comment:
The Oracle 10.2 manuals state: "Although the VARCHAR datatype is
currently synonymous with VARCHAR2, the VARCHAR datatype is scheduled
to be redefined as a separate datatype used for variable-length
character strings compared with different comparison semantics."

Description:
------------
(extreme nit-pick)
oci_field_type returns 'VARCHAR' for a SQLT_CHR. It should more
accurately return 'VARCHAR2' as 'VARCHAR' is deprecated.
