cppdb supports ODBC. So given a good ODBC driver it should support
Oracle or any other RDBMS.

However:

1. I do not have an installation of Oracle database itself.
2. I have no experience with OCI API.

So I'm not going to implement one myself.

So if you need a native driver for Orcale you need to
implement one - it should not be that hard if you know OCI.

Or you need to find somebody who is willing to contribute one.

In any case you can look on ODBC and if you can successfully use
ODBC with Oracle please report me.

There is also a Unit test (that may need some tweaks for Orcale)
that can give you a way to know of ODBC/Oracle works well.

I'd would be glad if you can test cppdb with Oracle and maybe
tweak a Unit test a little if needed to make sure it passes.

In any case if you need a good library for Oracle that
supports other RDMBSs as well you can take a look on SOCI.
>From my experience it does not support other DB too well
and it does not have CppDB's features like caching of prepared
statements.
