@parktrip thanks for your contribution. We need also test cases added to cover changes.
Also rebase will be required before merging (develop) as you are targeting develop branch.

dear @webimpress,
I have added test cases for oci8 and my changes.
I have 2 problems:

• in Oci8FixtureLoader class I am trying to init db with data from oci8.sql, I got an ORA-00911 error line 62. I have checked the file and if I run it directly in sql+ it is working. My dba checked as wel and didn't see any potential problem
• i don't know what to put in oracle_fixtures.sh as I don't have the knowledge on how to create the schema from scratch in command line.

Nevertheless, test cases for oci8 run fine ;)

@parktrip thanks for update, we can have a look on it closer before we merge it.
I can't promise when does it happen, I have it on my list but there are more PRs which need my attention before release.

dear @webimpress, I just took 5mn this morning to check travis error logs and it seems the oci_pconnect() function is not recognized. Are you sure the oci8 extension is activated in travis config file for all php versions ?

@parktrip it might be not enabled, but you can change it in .travis.yml.
Sorry, I haven't had time to have a look on it yet, so I'd appreciate a lot if you can investigate it more and update Travis CI configuration if needed. Thanks!

@parktrip I've tried to update it and run it on travis but it seems to be uncompleted.
We would need to address when we move to Laminas (as it is gonna happen very soon).
