[cx-oracle-users] AIX patch

[Floris B. <flo...@gm...>]

Hi

The attached patch is what I use to make cx_Oracle work on AIX.  This
has been tested on AIX 5.2 and 5.3 with Oracle Instant Client 10g &
11g.  Note that the instant client for version 9 is no longer
available so I haven't added support for that as I can't test it.

The only ugly part is that I needed to remove ping aka Connection_Ping
method for 10g.  For some unknow reason the .OCIPing symbol is not
provided in libclntsh 10g on AIX.

Hopefully this is useful.  Let me know if there are problems with this
patch I need to address.

Regards
Floris
