  # Supported properties are listed below:
  #
  # [:length_semantics]
  #     (new in 2.1.0)
  #     
  #     +:char+ when Oracle character length is counted by the number of characters.
  #     +:byte+ when it is counted by the number of bytes.
  #     The default setting is +:byte+ because +:char+ causes unexpected behaviour on
  #     Oracle 9i.
  #
  # [:bind_string_as_nchar]
  #     +true+ when string bind variables are bound as NCHAR,
  #     otherwise +false+. The default value is +false+.
  #
  # [:float_conversion_type]
  #     (new in 2.1.0)
  #     
  #     +:ruby+ when Oracle decimal numbers are converted to ruby Float values
  #     same as Float#to_s does. (default)
  #     +:oracle:+ when they are done by Oracle OCI functions.
  #     
  #     From ruby 1.9.2, a float value converted from Oracle number 15.7 by
  #     the Oracle function OCINumberToReal() makes a string representation
  #     15.700000000000001 by Float#to_s.
