Also, I dunno if the corresponding oci_*() functions have the same signature. So first try to do a `translation table' of MySQL vs. Oracle functions, and see where they match, then you can replace them all with, say, dbi_*() [which you must write] functions to act as wrapper if sometime in the future ppl will realize DB2 is better ;)). I would have been cool if the Unified ODBC had support for Oracle too. For me it looks like a great idea for this kind of problems. -- teodor
