# cx_Oracle version 8.1 (Development)
|
|
|
|
cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that enables access to Oracle
|
|
Database. It conforms to the [Python database API 2.0
|
|
specification][1] with a considerable number of additions and a couple
|
|
of exclusions. See the
|
|
[homepage](https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle/index.html) for a
|
|
feature list.
|
|
|
|
cx_Oracle 8 has been tested with Python versions 3.6 through 3.9. You can use
|
|
cx_Oracle with Oracle 11.2, 12c, 18c and 19c client libraries. Oracle's
|
|
standard client-server version interoperability allows connection to both older
|
|
and newer databases. For example Oracle 19c client libraries can connect to
|
|
Oracle Database 11.2. Older versions of cx_Oracle may work with older
|
|
versions of Python.
