34.16. Oracle Compatibility Mode #

   ecpg can be run in a so-called Oracle compatibility mode. If this mode
   is active, it tries to behave as if it were Oracle Pro*C.

   Specifically, this mode changes ecpg in three ways:
     * Pad character arrays receiving character string types with trailing
       spaces to the specified length
     * Zero byte terminate these character arrays, and set the indicator
       variable if truncation occurs
     * Set the null indicator to -1 when character arrays receive empty
       character string types
