ROracle 1.3-2 is now on OTN: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/r/roracle/downloads/index.html
It's not on CRAN - there are some bundle submission infrastructure issues with CRAN and we're waiting to hear back from the CRAN team.
From the NEWS file:
- Use ora.encoding for DML when specified
- Updated INSTALL
- One can now specify type of Oracle DBMS column using ora.type attribute in dataframe when using dbWriteTable
