Anthony Tuininga e15851220b Correct the handling of ANSI types REAL and DOUBLE PRECISION as implemented by
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

cx_Oracle version 6.2

cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that enables access to Oracle Database. It conforms to the Python database API 2.0 specification with a considerable number of additions and a couple of exclusions. See the homepage for a feature list.

cx_Oracle 6 has been tested with Python version 2.7, and with versions 3.4 and higher. You can use cx_Oracle with Oracle 11.2, 12.1 and 12.2 client libraries. Oracle's standard client-server version interoperability allows connection to both older and newer databases, for example Oracle 12.2 client libraries can connect to Oracle Database 11.2.
