Provides a view for Oracle database that fetches and returns tweets from Twitter public timeline. You can SELECT Twitter public timeline as below:

SELECT created_at, screen_name, text FROM TWITTER_PUBLIC_TIMELINE WHERE LOWER(text) LIKE '%http%';

Note that this library will not work on Twitter API v1.1 because of dropping XML support and requiring authentication with OAuth.
This library gets timeline with XML API and is not authenticated.
