For what it's worth, I make the DCOracle2 driver return the statement 
type processed from prepare() and execute().  Many people find this 
awkward as a result from execute() since they were expecting something 
like number of lines processed (which instead is an attribute). 
 However, its the only good way to figure out what the RDBMS thought of 
the statement you sent in (was it a SELECT, INSERT, PL/SQL BEGIN, DML, 
etc.).
