What is 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.
Where do I get it? http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net What's new? 1) Simplify management of threads for callbacks performed by database change notification and eliminate a crash that occurred under high load in certain situations. Thanks to Calvin S. for noting the issue and suggesting a solution and testing the patch. 2) Force server detach on close so that the connection is completely closed and not just the session as before. 3) Force use of OCI_UTF16ID for NCLOBs as using the default character set would result in ORA-03127 with Oracle 11.2.0.2 and UTF8 character set. 4) Avoid attempting to clear temporary LOBs a second time when destroying the variable as in certain situations this results in spurious errors. 5) Added additional parameter service_name to makedsn() which can be used to use the service_name rather than the SID in the DSN string that is generated. 6) Fix cursor description in test suite to take into account the number of bytes per character. 7) Added tests for NCLOBS to the test suite. 8) Removed redundant code in setup.py for calculating the library path. _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
