Oracle8Adaptor v. 0.6d29

This is only a fix of the current state. 

The adaptor has been renamed from 'Oracle' to 'Oracle8', since this
is based on the OCI v.8 API.

The 'Oracle*' classes have been renamed 'Oracle8*'.
The 'O2CI8*' classes have been renamed 'O2CI88*'.

A branch will be done now to develop an 'Oracle7' adaptor, based on 
the OCI v.7 API.



------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle8Adaptor v. 0.5dXXX

- Correctly numbered versions.

- Implemented -[Oracle8Adaptor hasValidConnectionDictionary].

- Added 'FOR UPDATE' to the 'SELECT' when needed...

- Added some retains (debugged).


- Remaining to do:
	- Getting the Metadata!
	- Handle nested transactions.
    - Implement NLS_LANG and see brothers.
    - Cleaning up (removing non usefull classes).
    - Check thread-cleaness, meaning: check all the static variables!
-Bugs:
    - Should not report this OCI_NO_DATA error at the end of the fetch.
    - Why an EOAttribute gets a SEGV when releasing its name?

  If nested transactions were needed, I could add them easily.

- Fetching has not progressed.

- Downloading metadata is not implemented yet.

Oracle8Adaptor v. 0.0.2
Tue Jul 27 16:05:06 CEST 1999


Not much is implemented yet. 

Replaced the OCI layer by new classes using the API OCI v.8 which:
	- is compatible with Oracle87;
	- will be supported by Oracle89, while the old API won't;
	- is much cleaner than the old API.

The Oracle8Adapter classes are not updated yet.

I don't know if that compiles, however.
