BREAKING CHANGES

With node-oracledb the thin client is used as default. Added a option to use the thick client. Also added the option to specify the instant client lib
MongoDB: from the previous behavior of returning a result with metadata describing when a document is not found. See: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/HEAD/etc/notes/CHANGES_6.0.0.md
new nullable embeds feature introduced a breaking change which might enforce you to update types on your entities to | null, if all columns in your embed entity are nullable. Since database queries now return embedded property as null if all its column values are null.
