Question for Christopher Petrilli: because the patches from the Oracle DA are so small, does merging the mxODBC and Oracle DAs into one code base seem feasible?
No, mostly because both are on the cusp of going somewhere else. We will most likely be undertaking a ground-up rewrite of the ODBC driver based purely on the X/Open CLI spec (which is part of SLQ99), which will also be used to talk to DB2. This will not use a DB-API compatible interface for various reasons. Eventually the DCOracle adapter will undergo a similar transition. We need things that the DB-API doesn't provide, nor perhaps should it. We have already had great success with a Sybase adapter done this way (eventually to be released).
