Hi,
This is not really a bug, but it may take to too much time to
track the source of error.
I am using Linux with Oracle9. If I use e.g. DB_Result::numRows() without option set to "portability" 
(didn't know about it, first...), I get really kryptic
error messages, since an object is returned instead of an
expected integer. 
This yields then "Unsupported operand types" if you try to
subtract an integer, and one really does not know what is going on.

Greetings, Heinrich
