Description This extension allows you to access Oracle databases using the Oracle Call Interface (OCI8). It can be built with PHP 4.3.9 to 5.x. It can be linked with Oracle 9.2, 10.2, 11.1, or 11.2 client libraries.
Release notes
Version1.4.0
1. Introduce connection attribute functions:

oci_set_module_name
oci_set_action
oci_set_client_info
oci_set_client_identifier

These set values that are visible/used by the database. They
are useful for tracing, authentication and auditing.

2. Introduce connection attribute function:

oci_set_edition

Oracle 11g R2 "editions" allow multiple versions of DB objects
to exist at one time. By setting different editions, two
different versions of an application can run concurrently,
making upgrading easier and faster.

3. Set the DRIVER_NAME attribute of Oracle Database 11gR2
connections to aid application tracing. The value used is to
"PHP OCI8" followed by the OCI8 version number. Note the
version number may get truncated in DB views such as
v$session_connect_info.

4. Allow the oci_set_prefetch value to be 0. This is important in
some cases using REF CURSORS in Oracle 11gR2.

5. Introduce OCI_NO_AUTO_COMMIT as an alias for the OCI_DEFAULT
constant (which is not the default value) used by oci_execute().

6. Generate an error if an invalid resource type is used in
oci_bind_by_name
