[DB-SIG] DCOracle2 and Exceptions

[Richard Brosnahan]

I've thrown a lot of different query expressions at this, and find most of
them work correctly AND it does NOT throw an exception. This is good.

Once in awhile I throw a perfectly good query at it, it correctly executes
the query and then throws an exception anyway. This is still kind of odd,
but very likely something on my end that needs fixing.

Thanks very much for your help!!
