Recently added another working example to connect PHP Grid with Oracle 11g. It is completely transparent for developers,which database server is used at backend.
All you have to do is defining a valid db config. for e.g.
$db_conf = array();
$db_conf[“type”] = “oci8”; // mysql,oci8(for oracle),mssql,postgres,sybase
$db_conf[“server”] = “127.0.0.1:1521”;
$db_conf[“user”] = “user”;
$db_conf[“password”] = “password”;
$db_conf[“database”] = “xe”;
In case of help, create create you request at

Have a super charged development speed !
