A while back Tobias published an article on MDB2 and MDB2_Schema on the oracle technology network (OTN for short). Since MDB2 has gone stable since and has seen some API adjustments I just wanted to update some of the points in the article. However most changes do not affect the article. So here are just a few points:

1. MDB2 can now be installed without appending "-beta". The oci8 driver is still not marked as stable yet, because there are some minor issues in the LOB handling an some other fringe cases.
2. Like I mentioned in my previous blog post, I have added some documentation on MDB2 into the PEAR manual
3. The query() method has been split into two methods. The old query() method is now meant only for data fetches, while exec() has been added for DDL and DML statements (this affects the "example_01_simplecalls.php")
