I am afraid I won't make it until 7.4beta1.
The problem is that I have not managed to have more than just one 
connection to oracle at the same time. For some Oracle reason I don't 
know what went wrong. I will have a closer look at that.

However, named connections don't make too much sense with just one 
connection ;). I have troubles testing it as long as the connect fails ...
There is some other Oracle specific stuff which seems to be more painful 
than I have expected.
Have I already told you that I hate Oracle?

Let's wait for the next major release and prepare something really 
useful. I am still not quite satisfied with what we have at the moment.
