Re: difficulty connecting to networked oracle database
As the other posters already mentioned, cx_Oracle is the way to go. I'm using it to connect to Oracle not only on Windows, but also on Solaris, Linux and AIX. Grig -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't have specific experience with Oracle and Python, but I do know that using Python's DB-API is usually the best way to go. For Oracle, everyone seems to be using cx_oracle, a Python package freely downloadable from: http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml ODBC isn't really the best solution for Python programs. -- Paul McNett http://paulmcnett.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
difficulty connecting to networked oracle database
Now, I am no Python expert but I have dabbled and I have spent a couple of days with another engineer unsuccessfully installing oracle drivers for MS ODBC on the win XP machine. It looked to me like ODBC was the best way to get a (free) python module to upload data to an oracle database table. Aside from installing oracle clients to ODBC being a pain, I would like to consider other ways to connect. Has anyone had experiences with Python connecting to oracle from Win XP? I have searched the 'net for various modules and discussions but have no success thus far. Thanks, Graeme. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
