GetOracleObject() returns null

Hi there,

testing 6.60.283 we found a changed behavior compared to older versions.

OracleDataReader.GetOracleObject(int) returns null if the value of the object is null in the database. On older versions (we use 6.10.135 currently) it returned an OracleObject instance with the IsNull property set.

We can, of course, change the function usage on our side in the whole code. However, we would prefer if you could change back the API. Thanks.

We have reproduced the issue. We will investigate it and notify you as soon as possible.

We have fixed the bug with OracleDataReader returning null value for Object, Array, Table, Xml, AnyData columns instead of returning an empty value of the corresponding type. We will post here when the corresponding build of dotConnect for Oracle is available for download.
