Yes, probably similar to Oracle.

How do you build the driver? Does it end up being a new QGIS executable 
or does it just create an additional DLL with the QOCI driver?
We want to avoid requiring end-users to build complete QGIS from source 
- it is hard enough for experienced developers to get this to work ;-)

We've managed to build the Qt QDB2 driver DLL but have not been 
successful in having a Qt application load it.
