I added tests for this, but since I don't have a local Oracle database for testing, I can't be 100% sure that they work.

Looks good. If you can make those few changes I'll merge it.

Creating a DB using Oracle Cloud's free https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/ tier can be handy for testing.

Thanks for the suggestion! I created an Oracle Cloud account today and was able to confirm that the new tests work as they should :-)

I made a few tweaks after examining it a bit more. Hopefully the changes are clear but if you have questions, yell out!
