Supported Oracle features not related to the ORA driver

PowerBuilder 11.5 applications can support the Oracle features listed in the following table, although these features are not enabled by DPBARM parameters or the ORA driver.

Supported feature	Description
Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP)	Provides a connection pool in the database server for typical Web application usage (where the application acquires a database connection, works on it for a relatively short time, and then releases it). Any application can leverage this pool by specifying: POOLED in the EZ Connect string or (SERVER=POOLED) in the TNS connect string. Before using this feature, the Oracle DBA must configure and start the DRCP.
Fault Diagnosability in OCI	This infrastructure helps diagnose problems such as those caused by data or metadata corruption, or by database code bugs. Oracle stores incident numbers and diagnostic information outside of the database in the Automated Diagnostic Repository (ADR).
Oracle Call Interface (OCI) Security Enhancement	Prevents disclosure of the database version string before authentication and posts warnings in the event of unauthorized access or when user actions are audited.
