Ok thanks! But we have used Oracle Database everywhere and in dialect.ts also. I think we should we use same here too. Or Oracle only at all places.

Let's use Oracle at all places, consistent with the code PR. There should be a review comment of me asking that where the reply was that oracle is preferred over oracledb

Okay! Changed Oracle Database to Oracle at all places.

Hi @WikiRik,
Just a gentle follow-up on this PR. Whenever you have time to take a look, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Update v7 & v6 docs tables and references to use the Oracle dialect name (matching the site’s supported dialect list).

+:::note
+
+For the Oracle dialect `Datatypes.TEXT` doesn't support the `where` option.


The note uses Datatypes.TEXT and refers to a non-existent “where option” on the datatype. This is confusing/misleading; consider correcting to DataTypes.TEXT and rephrasing to clearly describe the actual Oracle limitation (e.g., limitations when using CLOB/TEXT columns in where clauses).

Suggested change

For the Oracle dialect `Datatypes.TEXT` doesn't support the `where` option.

For the Oracle dialect, `DataTypes.TEXT` maps to a CLOB-like type, which has limitations when used in `where` clauses.

This table row has a broken Snowflake cell: it starts a backtick but never closes it ("`❌"). This will break table rendering; replace it with a plain ❌ or a properly closed inline code span.
