if you acquire a connection using engine.connect(), you must release it to the connection pool using connection.close(). this is independent of the Session being bound to this Connection while it is acquired from the pool. Session.close() will not achieve this when you are using Session(bind=connection) as the Session understands the scope of this Connection is external to that Session. This is then a separate issue from the use of cx_Oracle's SessionPool, for which we would assume you are using the recipe at https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/dialects/oracle.html#using-cx-oracle-sessionpool . > > Thanks, > Anupama > > > > -- > SQLAlchemy - > The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper > > http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ > > To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and > Verifiable Example.
