Jim, yeah to get Maypole/Oracle working we had to extend Class::DBI::Oracle
and Class::DBI::AsForm with a whole bunch of locally dreamed up "features"
which wouldn't sit very well on CPAN. In Class::DBI::Oracle you have to read
USER_TAB_COLUMNS to get column type info. To do it properly, it requires
someone to extend the CPAN Class::DBI::Oracle by implementing the
column-type-discovery functionality that can be seen in the source of
Class::DBI::MySql. I'm sure that FormBuilder would then meet your
expectations. If only I had another life I would push some of this development
myself..
