Support for Oracle Database Connection (Thick Mode)

[justinmahendra]

Current Oracle Database is supported using Thin Mode, but older version does not work.

NJS-138: connections to this database server version are not supported by node-oracledb in Thin mode

OS : Windows

Hello @justinmahendra,
Thick mode requires the Instant Client, which is over 500MB just for the library, a size we currently cannot support. However, we are considering making it an optional feature, where users can download it themselves and set up the path to it.

Literally this, just allow me to set a path for the instant client on my machine. Seems like you guys are using node, it is simple as calling initOracleClient on the code if the user has set the parameter. Just before trying to creating a connection pool or a single connection.

I am available to implement this myself, if you guys are interested.
