client library 10.2 (Note this will connect to Oracle Database 8.1.7
onwards). Use the older OCI8 1.4 from PECL if using an earlier PHP
version or older Oracle client library support is necessary.
Improve some error handling to produce error text on some rare edge cases.
Disambiguate the Oracle library function call return status values from ORA error numbers.
Review and unify error data types.
status. The proviso is OCI8 must be built "shared" when DTrace is
enabled. This implementation (i) works around an incomplete core PHP
solution for extension tracing (ii) avoid any issues with DOF section
location and the complexities of needing to merge all provider .d
files for static builds (iii) allows OCI8 to be DTrace-enabled when
doing PECL installs of OCI8 on PHP versions without core PHP DTrace
support.
This is an initial patch i.e. it will undergo further testing.
oci_set_module_name
oci_set_action
oci_set_client_info
oci_set_client_identifier
These functions set values that are visible and used by the
database. They aid 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 upgrades or A/B testing easier.
3. Introduce OCI_NO_AUTO_COMMIT as an alias for the OCI_DEFAULT
constant (which is not the default value) used by oci_execute().
4. Allow the oci_set_prefetch value to be 0. This is important in
some cases using REF CURSORS in Oracle 11gR2.
5. 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.
6. Generate an error if an invalid resource type is used in
oci_bind_by_name
[DOC] Documentation will be added for the changes
1. Merged ARG_INFO patch (Felipe)
2. Allow empty username & password so Oracle can do non-password based
authentication, i.e. "External Authentication".

[DOC]
A new OCI_CRED_EXT flag can be passed as the "session_mode" parameter
to oci_connect(), oci_new_connect() and oci_pconnect().
$c1 = oci_connect("/", "", $db, null, OCI_CRED_EXT);
This tells Oracle to do external or OS authentication, if configured
in the database.
OCI_CRED_EXT can only be used with username of "/" and a empty
password. Oci8.privileged_connection may be On or Off. OCI_CRED_EXT
is not supported on Windows for security reasons.
The new flag may be combined with the existing OCI_SYSOPER or
OCI_SYSDBA modes (note: oci8.privileged_connection needs to be On for
OCI_SYSDBA and OCI_SYSOPER), e.g.:
$c1 = oci_connect("/", "", $db, null, OCI_CRED_EXT+OCI_SYSOPER);
Code:
- Do scope-end release for oci_pconnect (oci8.old_oci_close_semantics=1 gives old behavior)
- Fix session reuse with 10.2 client libs
- Fix the Ping macro version check for 10.2
- Add type check associated with zend_list_find
- Code connection re-organized for reuse
- Format comments
- WS changes
- Prepare for new PECL release
Tests:
- Add new tests
- Rationalize password tests
- Revert use of __DIR__ so tests will work with PHP 5.2
- Update some skipifs to make tests more portable

Fixed bug #44372 (compilation with Oracle 10gR1 libraries)
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44372
Updated updated error number list to improve re-connection
behavior after a database restart.
Guard against potential internal list corruption after ping
removes old oci_pconnect() information.
Fix ini_set("oci8.connection_class", "abc") to get an appropriate
persistent connection.
Ping at oci8.ping_interval for oci_connect() and oci_new_connect()
when DRCP connections are used. This improves non-persistent
connection reliability if a database gets restarted.
