Qore Oracle Module

This release fixes a bug in auto-reconnect that could cause a crash in the Datasource or DatasourcePool classes when used with Oracle databases.

This release adds support for direct connections without TNS using the optional hostname and port for datasource connections (with qore >= 0.7.5), as well as a bugfix for value substitutions with '%' format codes in queries.

The module was updated to allow binding input and output variables in stored procedure and function calls, as well as to allow backquoting ":" characters. Additionally, a bug was fixed when binding and retrieving binary values.

The driver was updated to allow result sets, nested tables, etc. to be returned directly as values. Additionally, this release contains a bugfix in calculating memory for character buffers, as well as a bugfix when raising invalid handle exceptions. The build scripts were updated to properly support Oracle instant client detection when installed from RPMs, and also to properly support building in MacPorts.

The SQLT_FLT bindings are used for floating-point
data by default, as using SQLT_BDOUBLE will cause
errors when talking to Oracle 9i or earlier.
Detecting the 32-bit Oracle Instant Client
installed from RPMs was fixed in the configure
script.
