Nope, we don't use HP-UX around here (DC). Having said that, it works
fine with other things. Check out the replacement Setup file that I
wrote for 8.1.5:

There are still some open issues with DCOracle that I hope to resolve
before the next release:
- LOBs don't work in Oracle 8i, yet another gratuitous change
- Heavily multi-threaded apps fail under 8i that work fine
under 8.0.5. This reuqires a totally different method to
fix... *sigh*

I ca't speak to the size on HPUX, but on Solaris/Linux, the new Setup
file creates a "tiny" shared library... at least by Oracle standards
:-)

can't help you here, it's not a "design requirement" for DCOracle. If
you were to write code that would do this correctly, then we would
consider integrating it into the DCOracle code-base.
