    Note: 
      In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocicolumntype() instead. 
      This name still can be used, it was left as alias of
      oci_field_type() for downwards compatability. 
      This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
     
     See also oci_num_fields(),
     oci_field_name(), 
     and oci_field_size().
