Open Source Python/Oracle Utility - cx_Oracle
|
|
|
|
cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that allows access to Oracle and
|
|
conforms to the Python database API 2.0 specifications with a few exceptions.
|
|
|
|
See http://www.python.org/topics/database/DatabaseAPI-2.0.html for more
|
|
information on the Python database API specification.

|
BINARY INSTALL:
|
|
Place the file cx_Oracle.pyd or cx_Oracle.so anywhere on your Python path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SOURCE INSTALL:
|
|
This module has been built with Oracle 9.2.0, 10.2.0, 11.1.0 on Linux,
|
|
Solaris and Windows. It will likely build on other platforms and other Oracle
|
|
versions but I haven't tried them. Use the provided setup.py to build and
|
|
install the module which makes use of the distutils module. Note that on
|
|
Windows, I have used mingw32 (http://www.mingw.org) and the module will not
|
|
build with MSVC without modification. The commands required to build and
|
|
install the module are as follows:
|
|
|
|
python setup.py build
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
|
|
USAGE EXAMPLE:
|
|
|
|
import cx_Oracle
|
|
|
|
# connect via SQL*Net string or by each segment in a separate argument
|
|
#connection = cx_Oracle.connect("user/password@TNS")
|
|
connection = cx_Oracle.connect("user", "password", "TNS")
|
|
|
|
cursor = connection.cursor()
|
|
cursor.arraysize = 50
|
|
cursor.execute("""
|
|
select Col1, Col2, Col3
|
|
from SomeTable
|
|
where Col4 = :arg_1
|
|
and Col5 between :arg_2 and :arg_3""",
|
|
arg_1 = "VALUE",
|
|
arg_2 = 5,
|
|
arg_3 = 15)
|
|
for column_1, column_2, column_3 in cursor.fetchall():
|
|
print "Values:", column_1, column_2, column_3
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more examples, please see the test suite in the test directory and the
|
|
samples in the samples directory. You can also look at the scripts in the
|
|
cx_OracleTools (http://cx-oracletools.sourceforge.net) and the modules in the
|
|
cx_PyOracleLib (http://cx-pyoraclelib.sourceforge.net) projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXCEPTIONS:
|
|
The only exception to the DB API specification is the lack of a nextset()
|
|
method which is not supported by Oracle.
|
|
