Note Submitter: sixd at php dot net ---- PHP 5.3 introduces two new options. oci8.events "Off" PHP_INI_SYSTEM Available since PHP 5.3 oci8.connection_class "" PHP_INI_ALL Available since PHP 5.3 1. oci8.connection_class String This user defined text is used by Oracle 11g Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP) connections to sub-partition to connection pool. It allows connections from an application to reuse database sessions, giving better scalability. DRCP is available when OCI8 is linked with Oracle 11g libraries and connected to Oracle Database 11g. 2. oci8.events Boolean oci8.events allows PHP to be notified of database Fast Application Notification (FAN) events. Without FAN, when a database instance or machine node fails unexpectedly, PHP applications may be blocked waiting for a database response until a TCP timeout expires. With FAN events, PHP applications are quickly notified of failures that affect their established database connections. OCI8 will clean up unusable connections in the persistent connection cache. The database must be configured to post FAN events. FAN support is available when OCI8 is linked with Oracle 10gR2 or later libraries and connected to Oracle Database 10gR2 or later.
