Oracle has no out parameters support

[PotatoTroll]

Very helpful MicroORM so far, but it seems that there is no support for output bind variables at all for oracle, the simplest example: BEGIN :0 := 333; END; won't do a thing, it seems that all bind variables are set as input.
Is there even a possible way for an elegant implementation for output bind variables for oracle ?

output parameters have to be put into something, how do you propose the API and usage of such an API looks like? I.e. how does code using that look like? Besides, output parameters in a query in massive, how should these be specified? IMHO that's not that simple (as the short-hand for parameters is lacking any directive).

Not sure at the moment how all this would work in .NET, but the only way I can think of is to bind all variables as InputOutput and pass them by reference. Need to check if it is possible in .NET, but you are right, no matter the way to do it, it will look ugly.

One solution: I created another DB.Current.Query like method, it binds all variables as InputOutput, and returns an array of all the resulted parameters being it IN or OUT. Works ok so far, the only problem I cannot pass null for a variable that should be OUT, oracle will throw an exception because buffer is to small.
