Oracle oci8 as database

[kostas4k]

Is it possible to install PI using the oracle (with oci8 driver) as database? As I can see there already exists the driver in lib/zend/db for oracle oci8.

I did not test other drivers yet.

I tried to pass the following details

'driver' => 'Oci8',
'connection_string' => '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_ip)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = service_name)(INSTANCE_NAME = instance_name)))',
'username' => '***',
'password' => '***', 

// Database schema
'schema'        => 'dbname',
// Prefix for all tables
'table_prefix'  => 'xc6c_',
// Prefix for system tables; module identifiers will be used for its tables, respectively
'core_prefix'   => 'core_'

with the right values to file "service.database.php" but the installer always reset it to default and as a result I had a blank page ...

The current installer forces to us MySQL-PDO. I would doubt other drivers can be used directly.
