Why would you need ora_* anyway, assuming there are oracle_* (another extension) that works with all versions of Oracle? ora_* is an extension as well and is not being compiled by default, it mostly serves for the backward compatibility. Just to precise, "Merging" ... IS NOT: removing ora_* and OCI* while adding oracle_*. Nothing should be removed as that would stop many applications from continuing to work IT IS : adding a new extension which works as other DBs do (oracle_connect(), oracle_num_rows(), oracle_close() etc). Thus, one can still choose not to compile it relaying on the old extensions, or use this one as it would be the only compatible extension constantly maintained.
