Title: Oracle "not connected" not supported with the current check for "closed" in place

Oracle error message looks like this:

OperationalError: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE

This should handle the Oracle case. I'm in the process of testing the fix for our purposes at the moment. I will update this pull request if that seems to fail or succeed.
