The Pro*Ada predefined packages are Ada83 (is this called
"OCI" ?)

Package ORACLE is huge and uses a lot of nested packages,
this could profit from child packages.
The interfacing with C is the usual mess that it was
in Ada83, this could profit from pragma Convention (C),
Interfaces.C, the unsigned types in package Interfaces etc.
I've already substituted the non-portable semaphore
implementation with a protected type. <wax mode off>
