# Warning: Dead Code #

The `oracle` dialect is mostly dead code at this point.  However, a handful of its methods are still referenced by the `oracledb` dialect.  So, we are in the process of migrating those methods over to the `oracledb` dialect where they belong.  Once that task is completed, we will officially remove the `oracle` dialect.

In short: do not use the `oracle` dialect.  Use the `oracledb` dialect instead.
