- administrative user is ADMIN on the Oracle Cloud databases and SYSTEM on
local databases (SYSDBA is not available on the Oracle Cloud database)
- environment variables CX_ORACLE_TEST_SYSDBA_USER and
CX_ORACLE_TEST_SYSDBA_PASSWORD are replaced with CX_ORACLE_TEST_ADMIN_USER
and CX_ORACLE_TEST_ADMIN_PASSWORD
- skip tests that change passwords as passwords on Oracle Cloud database are
strictly controlled
- skip tests that check subscriptions as these are not currently supported on
Oracle Cloud database
NATIVE_FLOAT or NATIVE_DOUBLE types, all numbers are converted to strings and
passed through to ODPI-C in all Python versions; improved error message when
a value cannot be represented by an Oracle number value; improved test suite to
verify that calling executemany() with integers, floats and decimal values
intermixed with each other works as expected
(https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/issues/241).
Oracle. These types are just subtypes of NUMBER and are not actually stored as
native floating point numbers. Native floating point numbers are used with
Oracle types BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE
(https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/issues/163).
so that the SQL scripts used to create/drop schemas are easily adjusted to
use different schema names, if desired. Improve documentation for test suite
and samples.
