As they're all non-open source implementations I don't see why they should be on PHP, and why should we spend any source of resource on it-at all. No open process, also means no support. It will be up to the closed source vendors to deal with their stuff themselves. If that means, their drivers are not bundled with PHP, so be it. Especially it already seems that Oracle has a non-CLA PDO driver right now, I hope other commercial vendors see that they can only compete for PHP users if their process is open as well.We didn't write the PDO_OCI driver. I have contributed a few odd patches to it. But it is still buggy and lacking basic features like CLOB support. Making it usable is on hold, waiting for PDO V2 to be decided upon. Working collaboratively on a PDO V2 is a whole different issue than contributing small fixes to something that already exists.
