Description

JDBC 4.0 (included in Java 6) provides methods for BLOB/CLOB manipulation that work with latest Oracle drivers (ojdbc6.jar). So we can remove all the Oracle LOB hacks that among other things make interception of BatchActions a pain.

Per Oracle docs, 11-series drivers work with DB versions back to 9.x: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e10589/getsta.htm#JJDBC28046 So what can possibly go wrong here
