The eZ Publish Extension for Oracle® Database (also known as "ezoracle" extension) makes it possible to use Oracle as a database server for eZ Publish.

The communication/interaction between eZ Publish and the database is done via the "ezdb" library, which provides a database abstraction layer. The "ezdb" library supports MySQL and PostgreSQL databases by default.

The ezoracle extension contains a database driver implementation (also called the "ezoracle database handler") that makes it possible for the "ezdb" library to connect to an Oracle database. The extension itself makes use of the PHP Oracle functions. eZ Publish cluster mode is fully supported.
