My
OTN article on Oracle and Python was kept very brief, to be non-intimidating and to fit within OTN's preferred length. If you've come here, though, you're ready for the rest of the story! I'll use this post to summarize that discussion.
- Python+Oracle on other Linux distributions - see Andy Todd's blog entry
- alternatives to fetchone(): fetchmany(), fetchall(), and looping directly on the cursor - see my last entry and this comment
- Passing an argument to split(), to avoid errors on more complex init.ora parameters - see this comment
file object also implements iterator protocol.
ReplyDeleteYou could have used in your read() function.
For example:
def read(fileName):
initParams = {}
for rawTextLine in open(fileName):
param, val = rawTextLine.strip().split('=', 1)
initParams[param] = val
return initParams
Nice blog, Catherine.
ReplyDeleteI too am a Oracle/Google/Vmware/Java enthusiast. And lately given all the fame that Ruby and Python is getting, I'm inclined to take a look at it.
Anyways keep up the good work and keep blogging ;-)
