DBI + ROracle problem with parser ??

Hi,

Database queries using the combination DBI + ROracle are handicapped by
quirks in the pipeline between the textual representation of the query
and the database engine Oracle.

dbGetQuery(conn, query):

work:
dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from dual")
dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from dual /* comment */")
dbGetQuery(conn, "select /* comment */ * from dual")

don't:
dbGetQuery(conn, "\nselect * from dual")
dbGetQuery(conn, "select\n * from dual")
dbGetQuery(conn, "/* comment */ select * from dual")

best
