I don’t think so. Look at [JuliaDatabases · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaDatabases).

At my too.

I am a little confused if new API for Oracle has to be DBI or DBAPI driver.

DBAPI.jl is new(er) database interface proposal (See: Eric Davies: Towards A Consistent Database Interface [on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvOFVQgLDgg)).

But it seems it may need some period to stabilize (or revive) after 1.0 (See:  
[Small question about Nullable, Missing and DBAPI.jl](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/small-question-about-nullable-missing-and-dbapi-jl/7783))

Another suspicios fact is that [DBAPI branch in postgresql](https://github.com/JuliaDatabases/PostgreSQL.jl/compare/dbapi) is unfinished (last commit 2 years ago).
