Oracle LONG RAW data type support via OracleDataTypeFactory. Original patch submitted by Markus Müller.

Changes:

DatabaseSequenceFilter now throws a CyclicTablesDependencyException when encountering cyclic dependencies.
Do not ignore NULL values anymore in INSERT statements. Now ignore <none/> values from XmlDataSet. FlatXmlDataSet must use the ReplacementDataSet to achieve the same behavior.

Fix:

921869 - Fixed ParameterIndexOutOfBoundsException with InterBase.
925585 - Fixed FlatXmlDataSet constructors taking InputStream/Reader for loading DTD.
DELETE_ALL operation now deletes tables only *once* in reverse order they are encountered. Before, duplicate tables were resulting in multiple deletes. Patch submitted by John Hurst.
DELETE_ALL operation now compatible with StreamingDataSet.
Now closing ResultSet before Statement to fix the SQLException thrown by the Firebird JDBC driver.

Added ability to import external file for binary data types like BLOB; the value can be either a qualified URL or a file path name.
Moved createMetaData() static method from AbstractResultSet to DatabaseTableMetaData and made it public. Can now be used to create ITable from a ResultSet.
