Correct on all counts.  I don't think porting the Oracle driver from
VW is an option, though, for licensing reasons and because I imagine
their FFI/plugin API is quite different.  So it would have to be from
scratch.

The OCI protocol isn't published anywhere, is it?  It would be great
to have a pure-Squeak client like the JDBC "thin" Oracle driver, but
it would probably involve some heavy reverse engineering...
