It is a patch for both oraclebackend and goraclebackend.

If you could offer anything to add to the oraclebackend documentation, please 
let us know. Also, if you haven't already, please let us know what you patches 
in soracle.cc

goraclebackend was designed to be 'in line' with the other gsql backends, and 
gsql backends have (by default, at least) the simplest scheme possible. The 
oraclebackend, on the other hand, was developed to take full advantage of 
Oracle features.
