 We have several database triggers we need to insert into our Oracle
 database using a custom migration. The migration runs without raising an
 error and the triggers are created in the database, however, when they are
 invoked as a result of various operations in the Django admin we see an
 error that says that the trigger cannot be compiled. After investigation
 we realised that a required semicolon was being removed from the SQL
 defined in the migration. Ordinarily this is removed from standard SQL
 statements such as SELECT, INSERT etc but in the case of triggers it is
 required as a way to delimit multiple BEGIN...END statements.

 After debugging the issue we found the cause in this line of code:

 
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/backends/oracle/base.py#L481

 It appears that the blanket assumption that cx_Oracle does not require
 semicolons does not hold for triggers.

 Here is a simplified migration that shows the issue:


 {{{
 from django.db import migrations

 class Migration(migrations.Migration):
     dependencies = []

     create_trigger_insert_entry = """
     CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER UPDATE_BALANCE
     AFTER DELETE OR INSERT OR UPDATE OF AMOUNT ON ENTRY
     BEGIN
       UPDATE ACCOUNT_BALANCE B
       SET (B.BALANCE, B.ACCOUNT) = (SELECT SUM(AMOUNT) sum_amount, account
                               FROM ENTRY e WHERE e.ACCOUNT = B.ACCOUNT
 GROUP BY ACCOUNT)
       WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ENTRY e WHERE e.ACCOUNT = B.ACCOUNT);
     END;
     """

     delete_trigger_insert_entry = "DROP TRIGGER UPDATE_BALANCE"

     operations = [
         migrations.CreateModel(
             name='Account',
             fields=[
                 ('name', models.CharField(max_length=32, primary_key=True,
 serialize=False)),
             ],
             options={
                 'db_table': 'account',
                 'managed': True,
             },
         ),

         migrations.CreateModel(
             name='Entry',
             fields=[
                 ('value_date', models.DateTimeField()),
                 ('amount', models.DecimalField(decimal_places=8,
 max_digits=23)),
             ],
             options={
                 'db_table': 'entry',
                 'managed': True,
             },
         ),
         migrations.CreateModel(
             name='AccountBalance',
             fields=[
                 ('account', models.OneToOneField(db_column='account',
 on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.DO_NOTHING, primary_key=True,
 serialize=False, to='app.Account')),
                 ('balance', models.DecimalField(decimal_places=14,
 max_digits=38)),
             ],
             options={
                 'db_table': 'account_balance',
                 'managed': True,
             },
         ),
         migrations.AddField(
             model_name='entry',
             name='account',
             field=models.ForeignKey(db_column='account',
 on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.CASCADE, to='app.Account'),
         ),
         migrations.RunSQL(sql=create_trigger_insert_entry,
 reverse_sql=delete_trigger_insert_entry),
     ]
 }}}

 As a workaround, we « fixed » this issue by overriding the method
 `_fix_for_params` with the following code:
 {{{
 def _fix_for_params(self, query, params, unify_by_values=False):
     # cx_Oracle wants no trailing ';' for SQL statements.  For PL/SQL, it
     # it does want a trailing ';' but not a trailing '/'.  However, these
     # characters must be included in the original query in case the query
     # is being passed to SQL*Plus.
     # ---> Fix this issue
     if query.endswith(" END;"):
         pass
     elif query.endswith(';') or query.endswith('/'):
         query = query[:-1]
     if params is None:
         params = []
         query = query
     [...]
 }}}
 and we used
 {{{
 django.db.backends.oracle.base.FormatStylePlaceholderCursor._fix_for_params
 = _fix_for_params
 }}}
 in the migration file as it doesn't impact all the Django project. We
 would be happy to raise a pull request to get this fixed and obviously if
 anyone has a better way of doing this, we'd gladly oblige.
