Description
array 
oci_fetch_assoc ( resource statement )
     oci_fetch_assoc() returns the next row from the result
     data as an associative array (identical to
     oci_fetch_array() call with
     OCI_ASSOC flag).
    
Note: This function sets NULL fields to
PHP NULL value.
     A subsequent call to oci_fetch_assoc() will return 
     the next row or FALSE if there are no more rows.
    
Note: 
      Oracle returns all field names in uppercase and associative indices in the result array will be uppercased too.
