Potential changes for the OCI8 extension for Oracle 11.2

Now that Oracle Database 11.2 has been released (http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/2009/09/oracle_database_11gr2_enhancem.html), we'd like to make some enhancements to PHP OCI8 for PHP 5.3.2 & PHP 6: 1. Allow the oci_set_prefetch() count to be 0, i.e. just fetch/buffer one row at a time and don't prefetch any extra rows. Passing REF CURSORS back and forth between PL/SQL and PHP is one case where you might not want any extra rows prefetched. 2. Add a few oci_set_* functions to set database "attributes" including the new EDITION (useful for application upgrading, http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/2009/09/upgrading_php_web_applications.html), and a few "APPINFO"-style settings (very useful for tracing & auditing). Send me any comments or questions. PHP OCI8 remains open source and contributions from the community are welcome. Chris -- Blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal Twitter: http://twitter.com/ghrd
