python access to TimesTen

Question

I googled a lot to find any python module to access TimesTen (in memory database). I am writing a automated testing framework (more like for System Test and not Unit Test).

Answer 1

@ScalableDBDoug, would you mind providing the python code snippet? I tried using cx_Oracle in python script but was getting error message:

cx_Oracle.DatabaseError: ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact

Here is my code snippet:

import cx_Oracle

dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn('TTSERVER',TTPORT,service_name='TTSERVICE');
print(dsn_tns)
connection = cx_Oracle.connect('USER', 'PASS', dsn_tns)

cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("""SELECT * FROM MYTABLE""")
for record in cursor:
    print("Values:", record)

As a workaround I'm using UnixODBC and pyodbc to query the timesten database for now, But would like to use the native cx_Oracle module to access timesten.

Thanks,
