      0) This requires access as DBA to grant some perms and install PL/SQL packages.

      1) Install Moodle 2.2. under Oracle => no error should happen

      2) Upgrade Moodle 2.1 to 2.2 under Oracle => no error should happen

      3) Run the DB functional tests: Some failures related to column lengths may happen.

      Notes for 3):

      • More exactly the errors happen in one test_add_field() and one test_temp_tables() test, both asserting values related with max_length.
      • Only those and the concat failure should happen (don't forget to install the moodle PL/SQL package or more failures will be shown).
      • Finally, note that if MDL-29415 has been integrated too, then no failures related to column lengths will happen anymore.

      VARCHAR2(255) should be in fact VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) in order to prevent problems on servers with default configuration.
