Hi Martin,

the good news: to fix your inital problem with the search dialog is very
easy to fix, I'll do it immediately :-)

The other problem that Oracle OID is not standard conform is another
story. In fact Studio fails to read the schema from OID. To fix this
would take much more time, we would need to write a separate schema
parser just for OID.

Kind regards,
Stefan
