We don't typically identify an author before putting something on the TODO list. That said, this one seems like it would be within my skill set. I seem to have trouble finding tasks that are for which we can get consensus, so I just might pick this one up if we achieve such consensus on it. The biggest problem, should I take it on, would be that I don't currently have access to an Oracle database, so someone would have to supply me with accurate specs for how it should behave, or point to unambiguous documentation. -Kevin
