Well, you're right in that it seems to stem from the PEAR error
handling
routines. Unfortunately, I can't use your suggestion as there's a bit
of
an infinite loop thing going on - and I feel uncomfortable with
arbitrarily suppressing error messages. However, commenting out:

        if (!$row) {
            return $this->raiseError();

from the fetchRow() function in oci8.php allows me to carry on working
for the time being. Errors are still reported, so I wonder what the
benefit of the above is?

All the best,
