I'm not familiar with OCI, but...

Couldn't the module just go and fetch the data in fixed sized chunks
until the API returns less data than the chunk size ? In ODBC there's
a SQLGetData API that works much like that (and is used for LONGs
and columns for which the exact data element size is undefined at
bind time).
