cx-oracle

So I found Help installing cx_Oracle but am still stuck. I downloaded the latest instantclient from oracle, and set ORACLE_HOME to the location of the extracted files (both direct and with a bin folder between the ORACLE_HOME value and the files), but easy_install is popping an error when running setup.py saying it can't locate the Oracle include files. I did notice that only the 11g dll is in the folder, do I need all 3 drivers present for setup to complete? If so, where do I even get them? Christian Witts Honestly it is a hell of a lot easier to install cx_Oracle from one of the binary

Here's what I did: I'm on Windows XP SP3 I already had Python 2.7.1 installed. I downloaded instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.3.0.zip , unzipped it, and put it in C:\Program Files\Oracle\instantclient_11_2 . I added this path to the Windows Path environment variable. I created a new environment variable ORACLE_HOME holding this path as its value. I installed cx_Oracle-5.1.2-11g.win32-py2.7.msi . And on running import cx_Oracle all I get is Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 2, in <module> ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start because the

How can I access Oracle from Python? I have downloaded a cx_Oracle msi installer, but Python can't import the library. I get the following error: import cx_Oracle Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module> import cx_Oracle ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. I will be grateful for any help. Here's what worked for me. My Python and Oracle versions are slightly different from yours, but the same approach should apply. Just make sure the cx_Oracle binary installer version matches your Oracle client and Python versions. My versions

I have some monthly weather data that I want to insert into an Oracle database table but I want to insert the corresponding records in a batch in order to be more efficient. Can anyone advise as to how I'd go about doing this in Python? For example let's say my table has four fields: a station ID, a date, and two value fields. The records are uniquely identified by the station ID and date fields (composite key). The values I'll have to insert for each station will be kept in a list with X number of full years worth of data, so for example if there are two years of values then the value lists

I am a Python newbie, I am having troubles in the use of bind variables. If I execute the code below everything works fine. bind= {"var" : "ciao"} sql = "select * from sometable where somefield = :bind" cur.prepare(sql) cur.execute(sql,bind) Instead if I add another bind variable I obtain an error. bind= {"var" : "ciao"} sql = "select * from sometable where somefield = :bind and otherfield = :bind" cur.prepare(sql) cur.execute(sql,(bind,bind)) cur.execute(sql,(bind,bind)) Oracle.NotSupportedError: Variable_TypeByValue(): unhandled data I have solved it with cur.execute(sql,(bind["var"],bind[

How do you connect to a remote server via IP address in the manner that TOAD, SqlDeveloper, are able to connect to databases with just the ip address, username, SID and password? Whenever I try to specify and IP address, it seems to be taking it locally. In other words, how should the string for cx_Oracle.connect() be formatted to a non local database? There was a previous post which listed as an answer connecting to Oracle via cx_Oracle module with the following code: #!/usr/bin/python import cx_Oracle connstr='scott/tiger' conn = cx_Oracle.connect(connstr) curs = conn.cursor() curs.execute(
