[WP3] ValueError: bind position out of range

[D.R. Boxhoorn]

You may encounter the following exception, in particular when you are
using the photometry related classes.

   python-2.2/lib/python2.2/site-packages/DCOracle2/DCOracle2.py", line 957, in execute
       self._cursor.bindbypos(i, p.value, p.type)
   ValueError: bind position out of range



A solution for this problem is to increase an internal limit in DCOracle2.
You have to go to `DCOracle2/src/dco2.c' and raise the `MAX_BIND_COUNT', like

   #define MAX_BIND_COUNT 613

Then you have to recompile and install `dco2.so'.
Thanks to Fedor for pointing this out.

The README for installation will be updated accordingly.

                                                   Danny

PS. We should consider replacing DCOracle2 by cx_Oracle, but it doesn't support
    bind-by-position yet, which is heavily used in the DBOracle python code.
