Hello all Org's developpers,
I would like to provide a small improvement to ob-sql : the possibility to
connect to an oracle database by using the alias defined in TNSNAMES file.

The patch joined here try to achive this. It also improve (slightly) the
data fetching by removing unwanted trailing whitespaces provided by the
LINESIZE directive.

Subject: [PATCH] ob-sql.el: Improve Oracle connection and usage for ob-sql.

* lisp/ob-sql.el  (org-babel-sql-dbstring-oracle): don't use empty
args. This allow use of alias defined in Oracle's TNSNAMES files.
(org-babel-execute:sql): don't feed lines with trailing spaces. This
also improve speed for retrieving data.
