[gdal-dev] OGR OCI Driver improvement

[Nicolas Simon]

Franck,

	I'm interested in becoming a longer term contributor for the OCI driver.
	
	What format do you prefer for fixes ?  Patch format against main trunk ?
	I 'll also provide test to demonstrate the problem and the fix.

	Is there a standard way to provide test suite ?
	
	Thanks for your advice. 

	Nicolas

Nicolas,

Please attach the fixes to the tickets in question (and add yourself to the
cc:list).  Create new tickets for issues for which tickets do not yet exist.
Please ensure fixes are provided against trunk if possible.

If you are interested in becoming a longer term contributor - perhaps with
primary responsibility for the OCI driver - we could pursue that issue after
some of these fixes have at least been reviewed.

Unfortunately, my oracle development environment isn't that conveniently
accessable, but I could drop into it for a bit to try and test and apply
your patches when they are all available.  It would be very helpful for you
to include simple means to demonstrate the problems and confirm the fixes
- ideally leading to additional test suite tests.

Best regards,
