Error message

host oracle undecided: %s

What it means

Error "host oracle undecided: %s" thrown in sqlmapproject/sqlmap.

Source

Thrown at extra/esperanto/engine.py:98

    It covers the char-comparison modes (code / collation / ordinal / equality) with an
    ordered comparator. Pattern-only (LIKE floor) and pure membership (no ordered
    comparator) are NOT driven by this reference - it raises rather than silently
    emitting an operator the dialect declared unusable or returning wrong data.

    Returns an ExtractResult (value / exact / truncated / integrity), NOT a bare string:
    an undecided host observation degrades to a FAILED result (never a manufactured bit),
    a value longer than maxlen is flagged TRUNCATED, and a code-mode value read through an
    UNPROVEN char-code fn is whole-value verified so a lossy code fn is caught (integrity
    FAILED), exactly as the native engine does - so this stays a faithful sufficiency proof."""
