@cedsav, – nice approach, but my philosophy is not to touch cake libs at all I would really like if CakePHP support this feature natively, but so far it isn’t and our way was to create behaviour.
I primary working in CakePHP 1.2 and because there are Behaviours as feature we decided to use it.

Anyway, there are many other problems with dbo_oracle which are not sorted so far. The first one which I can mention is not infinite IN() function. That function accept max 1000 elements and CakePHP use it a lot with the relations.

Hopefully one day we will have fully working Cake with Oracle.

Actually, I have a working dbo_oracle.php if you’re interested (for cakePHP v1.1.19). It uses the same technique, bind variables, but directly in the driver, so no need for a behavior.

I posted a ticket a long time ago, but it didn’t go very far: https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/2294

I’ll just add the file to the ticket if you want to download it.

Thanks for the great job with the behavior. We started using it and found that it had some issues.
