    Predefined Constants

    The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

    OCI8 Function and Method Modes
    Constant Description
    OCI_ASSOC Used with oci_fetch_all() and oci_fetch_array() to get results as an associative array.
    OCI_BOTH Used with oci_fetch_all() and oci_fetch_array() to get results as an array with both associative and number indices.
    OCI_COMMIT_ON_SUCCESS Statement execution mode for oci_execute() call. Automatically commit changes when the statement has succeeded.
    OCI_CRED_EXT Used with oci_connect() for using Oracles' External or OS authentication.
    OCI_DEFAULT See OCI_NO_AUTO_COMMIT.
    OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY Statement execution mode for oci_execute(). Use this mode if you want meta data such as the column names but don't want to fetch rows from the query.
    OCI_EXACT_FETCH Obsolete. Statement fetch mode. Used when the application knows in advance exactly how many rows it will be fetching. This mode turns prefetching off for Oracle release 8 or later mode. The cursor is canceled after the desired rows are fetched which may result in reduced server-side resource usage.
    OCI_FETCHSTATEMENT_BY_COLUMN Default mode of oci_fetch_all().
    OCI_FETCHSTATEMENT_BY_ROW Alternative mode of oci_fetch_all().
    OCI_LOB_BUFFER_FREE Used with OCILob::flush to free buffers used.
    OCI_NO_AUTO_COMMIT Statement execution mode for oci_execute(). The transaction is not automatically committed when using this mode. For readability in new code, use this value instead of the older, equivalent OCI_DEFAULT constant.
    OCI_NUM Used with oci_fetch_all() and oci_fetch_array() to get results as an enumerated array.
    OCI_RETURN_LOBS Used with oci_fetch_array() to get the data value of the LOB instead of the descriptor.
    OCI_RETURN_NULLS Used with oci_fetch_array() to get empty array elements if the row items value is null.
    OCI_SEEK_CUR Used with OCILob::seek to set the seek position.
    OCI_SEEK_END Used with OCILob::seek to set the seek position.
    OCI_SEEK_SET Used with OCILob::seek to set the seek position.
    OCI_SYSDATE Obsolete.
    OCI_SYSDBA Used with oci_connect() to connect with the SYSDBA privilege. The php.ini setting oci8.privileged_connect should be enabled to use this.
    OCI_SYSOPER Used with oci_connect() to connect with the SYSOPER privilege. The php.ini setting oci8.privileged_connect should be enabled to use this.
    OCI_TEMP_BLOB Used with OCILob::writeTemporary to indicate that a temporary BLOB should be created.
    OCI_TEMP_CLOB Used with OCILob::writeTemporary to indicate that a temporary CLOB should be created.

    OCI_B_CFILEE Used with oci_bind_by_name() when binding CFILEs.
    OCI_B_CLOB Used with oci_bind_by_name() when binding CLOBs.
