Event: Connect 2022
Stream: APEX, Development/Middleware, Integrations, Security, Tools
This year's major update to the Python driver for Oracle Database introduced a new name: python-oracledb. But more importantly, it now has a 'Thin' mode that dramatically simplifies installation. The updated driver is much smaller and faster. What's new and how to use the new Thin mode and traditional Thick mode will be shown in this session. See how to use the driver's standard Python DB API. Also, learn how Oracle Database's unique features will let you build scalable and reliable applications. This talk focuses on using the API directly from Python code, but it also shows basic examples of common Python frameworks and ORMs. Whether you are doing data analysis, building websites and microservices, or creating management and monitoring scripts, python-oracledb is an easy-to-use and efficient driver you should know how to use.
