Updated python-oracledb tutorial
The self-paced python-oracledb tutorial has been refreshed.
Our Python and Oracle Database: The New Wave of Scripting tutorial has had a refresh. This self-paced tutorial shows you how to use the python-oracledb driver to access Oracle Database. It has exercises and solutions. We have run this at conferences and had positive feedback from people new to the Python world. You can try it out on your own computer.
Once you have done the tutorial, you may also be interested in the container buildable from https://github.com/oracle/python-oracledb/tree/main/samples/containers/samples_and_db that installs the general python-oracledb sample scripts in a container with Oracle Database.
If you’re new to this world, check out my colleague’s post and video Exploring python-oracledb: A Simplified Approach to Oracle Database Connectivity.
Python-oracledb Resources
Python-oracledb is an open source package for the Python Database API specification with many additions to support advanced Oracle Database features. By default, it is a ‘Thin’ driver that is immediately usable without needing any additional install e.g. no Instant Client is required. It is used by many frameworks, ORMs, and libraries.
