So, can I expect anything from DBD::Oracle in this regard? Can we provide a DBI->connect attribute to enable the functionality I'm requesting? I will supply a patch if that would help. My only other options is to start lobbying for changes in higher-level modules like DBIx::Class or to maintain a CPAN Distroprefs patch file for our installation of DBD::Oracle here at $WORK, neither of which is as clean of a solution as getting this added into DBD::Oracle. I would appreciate a clear up/down vote from someone in authority so that I know how to proceed. Thanks, Brian
