This datasource provides Oracle database connectivity via the oci_* functions for CakePHP 2.x. It extends DboSource, but overrides any PDO functionality.

Original source presumed to be a CakePHP 1.x datasource. This was modified by odin88 in 2012 as described in Using Oracle in CakePHP 2.0. It was formerly available at the now-defunct snipt.org. Clinton Graham picked this up in 2015 for the University of Pittsburgh.
