Research direction
Examine the oracle driver configuration in Cube's source code, likely in a file related to database drivers. Search for 'thin' mode references and how the driver is initialized. Add a new configuration parameter to enable 'thick' mode, following the pattern of existing driver options. Ensure the change is backward compatible. Check if there are existing tests for the oracle driver and add a test for the new option.
