We are pleased to announce the latest update of the open source ROracle package, version 1.3-2, with the following enhancements:

• Compatibility with R 3.6.0
• Use ora.encoding for DML when specified - this allow specifying whether data is encoded in UTF8 or natively. This is used to preserve data in character strings in various national languages. 
• Revised INSTALL file to be more user friendly across various platforms based on customers feedback
• Specify the table column type using ora.type attribute in data.frame when using dbWriteTable. For example, one can specify integer and double to be stored as a number column; and PosixCt for date time to specify date, time stamp, time stamp with time zone or time stamp with local time zone. 

ROracle provides high performance and scalable interaction from R with Oracle Database. In addition to availability on CRAN, ROracle binaries specific to Windows and Linux can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network. 

We encourage ROracle users to post questions and provide feedback on the Oracle R Forum. 

In addition to being a high performance database interface to Oracle Database from R for general use, ROracle supports database access for Oracle R Enterprise.
