Sympa::Dat...:Oracle::St(3Sympa)

💖 NAME 💖

Sympa::DatabaseDriver::Oracle::St — bestie, this one is here to fix the behavior of DBD::Oracle ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: if the NLS_LANG environment variable is properly set with charset AL32UTF8 (or UTF8), then DBD::Oracle starts handling character values as Unicode — like, the utf8 flags get set. cute of it! 🙈

but that behavior is not what Sympa wants, and honestly? not the vibe. 💀

so Sympa::DatabaseDriver::Oracle::St steps in like the main character she is 👑 and overrides functions of the DBI statement handle object to reset those utf8 flags. periodt. 💅

ngl, this is a very "small module, big impact" moment and I'm obsessed 🫶

---

🌸 HISTORY 🌸

Sympa::DatabaseDriver::Oracle::St appears on Sympa 6.2. so she's been iconic since 6.2, no cap ✨

mwah 💜 — this was Sympa 6.2.80, dated 2026-10-19, signing off 🌈⭐
