Changes in DBD::Oracle 1.07 5th June 2001

  This release is mostly targeted at the needs of the new Oracle::OCI module.
    It's not a general release and not recommended for production use.

  Fixed SCALE/PRECISION/TYPE values for numeric types, including FLOAT,
    to be more correct thanks to Steffen Goeldner.
    NOTE: this may break code that depends on the old values!
  Fixed Win32::TieRegistry and Tie::Registry usage thanks to David Bradford.
  Fixed insert/update of LOBs while AutoCommit enabled.
  Fixed error in 'LOB value truncated' error thanks to Paul Walmsley.
  Fixed old oci7 LONG buffer overwrite bug thanks to Bruce Templeton.
  Fixed ocitrace.h not to trip up some compilers.
  Added table_info() search attribs thanks to Steffen Goeldner and Olga Voronova.
  Implemented some reworking of the placeholder handling, especially
    in relation to the start of some basic array support.
  Updated email and web page details to [email protected] and dbi.perl.org.

Eager testers welcome. Eager tester also willing to test the new
Oracle::OCI module (uploading now, announcement to follow) are
especially welcome!

Tim.
