CONNECT ORACLE DATABASE WITH PYTHON

Akbar Ali Sayed


1. Install python latest version.

https://www.python.org/downloads/ OR Microsoft store

2. Install Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools:


https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Choose Desktop Development with C++

3. Install cx_Oracle.

pip install cx_Oracle

4. Install Oracle instant Client softwere.

I already installed you got softwere from oracle support it is light weight bundle.

-Add entries of database into instant client tnsnames.ora

5. Import cx_Oracle and connection of db

 import cx_Oracle

# Provide the correct path with escaped backslashes


lib_dir_path = r"D:\\chrome download\\instantclient-basic-windows.x64-
21.12.0.0.0dbru\\instantclient_21_12"

# Initialize the Oracle client


LinkedIn-: Akbar Ali Sayed
cx_Oracle.init_oracle_client(lib_dir=lib_dir_path)

Here, we are importing the cx_Oracle module and initializing the Oracle client by providing the path to
the Oracle Instant Client directory. The r prefix before the path indicates a raw string, which is useful
for handling backslashes in Windows paths without escaping them.

 username = "PROD"
password = "prod"
host = "DESKTOP-7G8C61I"
port = "1521"
service_name = "orcl"

dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn(host, port, service_name=service_name)

We're setting the Oracle database connection parameters such as the username, password, host, port,
and service name. Then, you're creating a Data Source Name (DSN) using the makedsn function from
cx_Oracle.

 connection = cx_Oracle.connect(username, password, dsn=dsn_tns)

This line establishes a connection to the Oracle database using the provided connection parameters.

 cursor = connection.cursor()
We're creating a cursor object. Cursors are used to execute SQL statements and fetch results.

 # Execute the query to fetch all rows from the table


cursor.execute("SELECT * from employee")

# Fetch all rows


rows = cursor.fetchall()

# Display the content of the table


for row in rows:
print(row)

We're executing a simple SQL query to select all rows from the "employee" table, fetching the results,
and then printing each row.

 cursor.close()
 connection.close()
Finally, you're closing the cursor and the database connection to release resources.

Sample Output From My Server

Script for connection

import cx_Oracle

# Provide the correct path with escaped backslashes


lib_dir_path = r"D:\\chrome download\\instantclient-basic-windows.x64-21.12.0.0.0dbru\\instantclient_21_12"

# Initialize the Oracle client


cx_Oracle.init_oracle_client(lib_dir=lib_dir_path)

username = "PROD"
password = "prod"
host = "DESKTOP-7G8C61I"
port = "1521"
service_name = "orcl"

dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn(host, port, service_name=service_name)


connection = cx_Oracle.connect(username, password, dsn=dsn_tns)

# Now you can use the 'connection' object to interact with the Oracle database

cursor = connection.cursor()

# Execute the query to fetch all rows from the table


cursor.execute("SELECT * from employee")

# Fetch all rows


rows = cursor.fetchall()

# Display the content of the table


for row in rows:
print(row)

cursor.close()
connection.close()
