This directory contains samples for cx_Oracle. Documentation is here. A separate tutorial is here.
-
The schemas and SQL objects that are referenced in the samples can be created by running the Python script setup_samples.py. The script requires SYSDBA privileges and will prompt for these credentials as well as the names of the schemas and edition that will be created, unless a number of environment variables are set as documented in the Python script sample_env.py. Run the script using the following command:
python setup_samples.py
Alternatively, the SQL script can be run directly via SQL*Plus, which will always prompt for the names of the schemas and edition that will be created.
sqlplus sys/syspassword@hostname/servicename @sql/setup_samples.sql
-
Run a Python script, for example:
python query.py
-
After running cx_Oracle samples, the schemas and SQL objects can be dropped by running the Python script drop_samples.py. The script requires SYSDBA privileges and will prompt for these credentials as well as the names of the schemas and edition that will be dropped, unless a number of environment variables are set as documented in the Python script sample_env.py. Run the script using the following command:
python drop_samples.py
Alternatively, the SQL script can be run directly via SQL*Plus, which will always prompt for the names of the schemas and edition that will be dropped.
sqlplus sys/syspassword@hostname/servicename @sql/drop_samples.sql
