Heya.
I’m in a similar situation, however I grabbed that ADODB php extension and edited the same hill out of the existing WordPress code. I have had to kludge the code in a couple of places (eg. if oc8i use Max() instead of Greater() ), and all of the mysql limit code had to be replaced with ADODB style SelectLimit calls… but it seems to be going pretty darn well.
I have not created an Install script for Oracle, but I have the source code and my database create script (which you’ll have to hand edit to suit your own data, I’m sure most can manage it though). I’m very interested in feedback/ comments (and I’d love to see WordPress adopt the ADODB db parse-wassit so I don’t have to re-hack everything for each version increment)
