[rt-devel] Rt and Oracle

[Dylan Vanderhoof]

I can't speak for Oracle, but I know that DB2 has support for the BLOB type,
althought it akes fairly excessive use of binds.  I'll have to de some
research for that.
Also, I have a trigger for DB2 that will likely work with Oracle as well
with some tweaking to emulate MySQL's AUTO_INCREMENT column variable.

Another issue is the primary keys.  MySQL has "autoincrement" which means
that a NULL value might be issued for the primary key, and MySQL will find
the number itself and return it.  Different engines do have different ways
of handling this, as well as different ways of returning the number.
