I don’t think we should make changes to php-src just for unbundled extensions.

Wouldn’t it be sufficient to simply copy the tests to the oci repository?

[mvorisek]

We should, we expect some common behaviour and maintaining more or less copied code is never a good idea. Here this was changes in PHP 8.4 to fix collision in CI, we keep this feature but change the table names to be below 30 characters. Other tests are passing.

Oracle 11g release 2 was release in September 2009 and had its final release in August 2013. It is also considered EOL by Oracle.
And as of Oracle 12.2, which was released in August 2017 and is also EOL table names can be 128 bytes.

I am against changes in php-src to support EOL software.

[mvorisek]

In my personal opinion it is not a problem to support EOL software per se as long as the support is easy.

Also, I would be happy if you, Gina, would be happy to unblock me as we both participate at amazing software but cooperating with you in interactions you get into is challenging, I get no notifications, I cannot comment on your PRs etc.
