This directory contains the test suite for cx_Oracle. The schemas and SQL objects that are referenced in the test suite can be created by running the SQL script sql/SetupTest.sql. The syntax is: sqlplus / as sysdba @sql/SetupTest.sql The script will create users cx_Oracle and cx_Oracle_proxy. If you wish to change the names of the users or the name of the edition you can edit the file sql/TestEnv.sql. You will also need to edit the file TestEnv.py or set environment variables as documented in TestEnv.py. The test suite can be run without having cx_Oracle installed by issuing the following command in the main directory: python setup.py test If cx_Oracle is already installed, you can also run it by issuing the following command in this directory: python test.py After running the test suite, the schemas and SQL objects can be dropped by running the SQL script sql/DropTest.sql. The syntax is sqlplus / as sysdba @sql/DropTest.sql
