Message-ID: <2f42201c0905120937u373b41cdw81a9dce4044525c1@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Is there a reason that the PDO OCI extension is not included in the oracle
distribution of the PHP RPMs, and any recommendations for where to find a
PHP 5.2.9 RHEL 5 rpm with PDO_OCI?


Regards,
Erek Dyskant

Hi Erek,

PDO_OCI is still marked as experimental and at the moment I cannot
suggest using it in production.  I hope this will change in the
future.  Unfortunately the PHP community as a whole has put little
effort into PDO.

The things need to happen before I can release the PDO_OCI driver as
an RPM:

  1. PDO_OCI needs to be made stable

  2. http://pecl.php.net/package/PDO_OCI needs to have the latest version of the code.

For various reasons I'm unable to do 1 at the moment.

I'm not aware of any location to get a PDO_OCI RPM.  It would not be
difficult to create one using the .spec file in the oci8 source RPM as
an example.  Note the PHP 5.3 PDO_OCI code is more recent than the
code on pecl.php.net

Chris
