11706	Use of RETURNING means Oracle 9i is no longer supported	Matt Boersma	nobody	"See closed ticket #10473.  The ""RETURNING...INTO"" SQL construct is supported only in Oracle 10g and later, so effectively Django 1.1 will no longer work on Oracle 9i because INSERT statements will fail with ""ORA-22816: unsupported feature with RETURNING clause.""

Oracle 9i is quite old and no longer actively sold or available for download from www.oracle.com (11gR1 is current).  However, if you know Oracle shops, they aren't often aggressive about upgrading--where Ian and I happen to work is one example of this.  So I see three solutions:
1) Fall back to the old, compatible code that didn't use RETURNING
2) Make the use of RETURNING optional, conditional on server version
3) Correct the docs to say that Oracle 10g and later are supported in Django 1.1"		new	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.1			Oracle oracle RETURNING	Erin Kelly	Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
