#10377: Improve database notes with respect to cx_Oracle 5.0 Unicode bug ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: ubernostrum | Owner: ubernostrum Status: new | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 1.0 Keywords: | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 1 | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Since #9935 documented multiple people getting bit by a Unicode-corrupting bug in `cx_Oracle` 5.0, it might be a good idea to have the database notes section of the docs be a bit more clear on the fact that 5.0 should not be used (currently it says, misleadingly, "4.3.1 or later" in one place, while stating the requirement of 4.x further back in the paragraph.
The attached patch tries to make this clear, and also recommends `cx_Oracle` 5.0.1 which, per upstream announce, resolved the bug. If one of our Oracle gurus (I'm cc'ing Ian on this) could verify the text (and maybe double-check against 5.0.1 to make sure it really did fix things), I'll commit this and do a backport into the 1.0.x docs as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10377> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
