3 ;;;; The original version of this code was copyright (c) 1999-2000 Cadabra Inc.
4 ;;;; It was placed in the public domain by Cadabra in January 2000.

10 ;;;; * The code will leak C resources if errors occur in the the wrong
11 ;;;; places, since it doesn't wrap its allocation/deallocation
12 ;;;; logic in the necessary EVAL-WHENs to prevent this. (This could be
13 ;;;; easily be an issue for long-running processes which recover from
14 ;;;; database errors instead of simply terminating when they occur. It's
15 ;;;; not an issue for programs which consider database errors so abnormal
16 ;;;; that they die immediately when they encounter one.)
17 ;;;; * Instead of reading Oracle header files automatically, this code
18 ;;;; uses constants, types, and function signatures manually transcribed
19 ;;;; from the Oracle header files. Thus, changes in the header files
20 ;;;; may require manual maintenance of the code. (This version was written
21 ;;;; for Oracle 8.1.5.)
