[FASTCGI] FastCGI with Oracle

[Tom Bowden]

 From what I understand you have to specifically set any environment  
variables that you want to use in the configuration (I use apache and  
mod_fcgid ).

The way I look at  -- it is like the taint mode in Perl on steroids.   
perl -T (or perl -w ?) will generate a warning/error if you use  
relative paths or there are any environment variables that are  
considered security risks in your code.  FastCgi handles it by not  
letting you set ANY variables... because that would be a security risk.

There is an example in the API that covers how to set up a connection  
for Oracle.  In my particular applications I have to use PGUSER and  
PGDATABASE.
