#7 support for persistent connections and more OCI8 functions
Are you going to support persistent connections like this
function is available in the programming language PHP
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ociplogon.php)?
Can you offer a oraplogon function? Or is it better to add a
parameter "persistent" (values 0/1 or true/false) to the
function "oralogon"?

What do you mean by a persistent connection?
An 'oralogon' connection is maintained until the 'oralogoff'
command is issued. It is already persistant.

1. http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.persistent-
connections.php
2. If I look at "http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.oci8.php", I see
several logon functions.
3. It seems that OraTcl 4.0 supports a subset of the Oracle Call
Interface at the moment.

Will OraTcl advance to support all functions in the Oracle 8 (9 ...) call interface?

I am willing to offer an oraplogon function. Are you
willing to code it up for me. Provide test case and an
example of it's use.
I don't think it is useful to support all functions in the
OCI9 call interface, some of the things provided there
(like date manipulation) are already provided by TCL. On
the other hand, There are lots of things in OCI9
(like scrollable cursors) that I would like to add. I would
also like to improve the lob support.
Usually it is a function of my available time.

Please cut the source file "oratcl.c" into smaller pieces
for better maintenance.
I hope that the OCI will be completely covered by the TCL
API. Some important parts are still missing.

Would you like to use the tool "Simplified Wrapper and
Interface Generator" to add the missing pieces?
