As you can see, the compiler complains about things in the
Oracle header files -- not in DCOracle2 itself.

While it is possible that the caller is responsible,
you should start to investigate in the Oracle header files.

I is well possible that the Oracle headers no require the called
to include an additional header and that DCO2 does not know yet.
