I think I'll wait for the upcoming beta release - if I grab the CVS now, I'll probably start poking around in the code and fixing stuff. ;) (I *do* want to help; I just don't have much time at the moment). Please don't take this the wrong way, but I was expecting a "yes/no/not sure" kind of answer, or for verification via the supplied test script... (although if Oracle is an uncommon configuration, I understand). Strangely, I got a similar response on a bug I filed regarding the ora_connect() function (BugId #2537); and while I don't believe the maintainter ran the test script, the bug was closed nonetheless. I don't mind for the bug to have low priority, but is it normal behaviour here to *close* a bug under such circumstances ?
