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
Adding a package.xml to a bundled extension does not only
ease the transition to PECL whereever suitable but also
allows to build and install an extension as "shared" using
the PEAR installer without having to deal with phpize and
friends by hand
