This directory contains samples for cx_Oracle. 1. The schemas and SQL objects that are referenced in the samples can be created by running the SQL script [sql/SetupSamples.sql][1]. The syntax is: sqlplus sys/syspassword@hostname/servicename as sysdba @sql/SetupSamples.sql The script will create users `pythondemo` and `pythoneditions` and will create an edition called `python_e1`. If you wish to change the names of the users or the name of the edition you can edit the file [sql/SampleEnv.sql][2]. You will also need to edit the file [SampleEnv.py][4] or set environment variables as documented in it. 2. Run a Python script, for example: python Query.py 3. After running cx_Oracle samples, the schemas and SQL objects can be dropped by running the SQL script [sql/DropSamples.sql][3]. The syntax is sqlplus sys/syspassword@hostname/servicename as sysdba @sql/DropSamples.sql [1]: https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/blob/master/samples/sql/SetupSamples.sql [2]: https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/blob/master/samples/sql/SampleEnv.sql [3]: https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/blob/master/samples/sql/DropSamples.sql [4]: https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/blob/master/samples/SampleEnv.py
