oci8po A Oracle 8/9 portable driver. This is nearly
identical with the oci8 driver except (a)
bind variables in Prepare() use the ?
convention, instead of :bindvar, (b)
field names use the more common PHP
convention of lowercase names.
Use this driver if porting from other
databases is important. Otherwise the oci8
driver offers better performance.
