What about binding variables ala oracle's ociparse -> ocibindbyname ->
ociexecute -> ocifetch ? I know you can do most of it via SQL
(PREPARE/EXECUTE) but you can't do 'RETURN x INTO :x' as it stands.
This would also get around the problem of getting values from newly
inserted rows (eg PKs) without resorting to OIDs. Not entirely a FE/BE
issue... but worth considering in any redesign.
