Thanks Jan, Oracel XE has ended up not working at all on my systems. I subsequently tried to use full Oracle 11g but that has caused issues of its own. I have posted to the the devel list and raised a bug but have not heard anything back yet. A colleague of mine found a similar bug that was encountered in 1.4, it appeared to me that the suggested patch was incorporated into 1.7 but I might be wrong...

But some time back I have done some testing and based on quick check it seemed to be working.
