Yes, the oracle tests were by far the worst, which suggests something in the
driver/configuration.

Try changing the driver to all lower case (i.e. from 'Oracle' to 'oracle').
Also, the schema_sql is still set to the mysql schema (not oracle).  That
shouldn't make a difference, but you never know.

Hopefully that isn't your real password!
