Whenever I tried using pyodbc to connect to a Rocket UniData/UniVerse data I kept running into the error:
pyodbc.Error: ('00000', '[00000] [Rocket U2][U2ODBC][0302810]Unable to allocate sufficient memory! (0) (SQLDriverConnect); [00000] [Rocket U2][U2ODBC][0400182]Connection not open. (0)')
My code looks as follows:
import pyodbc
conStr = 'Driver={U2 64-Bit ODBC};Database=myDb;Server=localhost;UID=user;PWD=password'
conn = pyodbc.connect(conStr)
cursor = conn.cursor()
I actually found that the simplest way to fix this error was to create a System DSN and then changed my code to the following:
import pyodbc
conStr = 'DSN=myTestDsn;UID=user;PWD=password'
conn = pyodbc.connect(conStr)
I am using cx_oracle to connect the Oracle DB using python.I need your assistance in connecting DB. I'm using following code till date it worked well
Code-1:
import cx_Oracle as cx
dsn_tns = cx.makedsn(HOST,PORT, service_name=SERVICE_NAME)
conn = cx.connect(user=USER, password=PW, dsn=dsn_tns)
Recently TCP port is disabled and we are using jdbc connection string to connect DB which has TCPS port number.can you help where I need to pass the protocol in above/ suggest any other method.
i tried following code
code-2:
dsn_tns='(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcps)(HOST =hostdetails)(PORT =port))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = servicename)))'
conn = cx.connect(user=USER, password=PW, dsn=dsn_tns)
print(cx.version)
I got error: ORA-28759: failure to open file.
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Does your sqlnet.ora have a WALLET_LOCATION defined?
Source.
sqlplus sys/Oracle_1#pdborcl as sysdba;
i'm using this command to connect to Oracle 12c from Command Prompt.
How can i connect to the db using cx_Oracle. I'm new to Oracle DB.
I think this is the equivalent of the sqlplus command line that you posted:
import cx_Oracle
connect_string = "sys/Oracle_1#pdborcl"
con = cx_Oracle.connect(connect_string,mode=cx_Oracle.SYSDBA)
I tried it with a non-container database and not with a pdb so I can't verify that it would work with a pdb. You may not want to connect as sys as sysdba unless you know that you need that level of security.

You can find the documentation here cx_Oracle docs
To query the database, use the below algorithm
import cx_Oracle
dsn = cx_Oracle.makedsn(host, port, sid)
connection = cx_Oracle.connect(dsn,mode = cx_Oracle.SYSDBA)
query = "SELECT * FROM MYTABLE"
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute(query)
resultSet=cursor.fetchall()
connection.close()
The above code works to fetch data from MYTABLE connecting to the above dsn.
Better to go through cx_Oracle docs.
I would like to connect to an Oracle database with python through pyodbc. I have installed oracle driver and I tried the following script:
import pyodbc
connectString = """
DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient12Home1};
SERVER=some_oracle_db.com:1521;
SID=oracle_test;
UID=user_name;
PWD=user_pass
"""
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(connectString)
I got the following error message:
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(connectString)
Error: ('HY000', '[HY000] [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error\n (12560) (SQLDriverConnect)')
What's wrong here?
Why keyword DBQ works and SID/Service Name does not, see the section 21.4.1 Format of the Connection String in Oracle 12c documentation.
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADFNS/adfns_odbc.htm#ADFNS1183/
or google keywords for odbc oracle 12c
Looks Like your missing a PORT
Try this way
NOTE:
Depending on your Server the syntax can be different this will work for Windows without DSN using an SQL Server Driver.
connectString = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=localhost;PORT=1433;DATABASE=testdb;UID=me;PWD=pass')
This is the connection, you still need a cursor and to use execute along with an SQL Statement..
You have to specify server or hostname (or IP address in connection string for your database server is running.
So close...
connectString = """
DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient12Home1};
SERVER=some_oracle_db.com:1521;
DBQ=oracle_test;
Uid=user_name;
Pwd=user_name
"""
I replaced SID with DBQ
How can I access Oracle from Python? I have downloaded a cx_Oracle msi installer, but Python can't import the library.
I get the following error:
import cx_Oracle
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
import cx_Oracle
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I will be grateful for any help.
Here's what worked for me. My Python and Oracle versions are slightly different from yours, but the same approach should apply. Just make sure the cx_Oracle binary installer version matches your Oracle client and Python versions.
My versions:
Python 2.7
Oracle Instant Client 11G R2
cx_Oracle 5.0.4 (Unicode, Python 2.7, Oracle 11G)
Windows XP SP3
Steps:
Download the Oracle Instant Client package. I used instantclient-basic-win32-11.2.0.1.0.zip. Unzip it to C:\your\path\to\instantclient_11_2
Download and run the cx_Oracle binary installer. I used cx_Oracle-5.0.4-11g-unicode.win32-py2.7.msi. I installed it for all users and pointed it to the Python 2.7 location it found in the registry.
Set the ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variables via a batch script or whatever mechanism makes sense in your app context, so that they point to the Oracle Instant Client directory. See oracle_python.bat source below. I'm sure there must be a more elegant solution for this, but I wanted to limit my system-wide changes as much as possible. Make sure you put the targeted Oracle Instant Client directory at the beginning of the PATH (or at least ahead of any other Oracle client directories). Right now, I'm only doing command-line stuff so I just run oracle_python.bat in the shell before running any programs that require cx_Oracle.
Run regedit and check to see if there's an NLS_LANG key set at \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. If so, rename the key (I changed it to NLS_LANG_OLD) or unset it. This key should only be used as the default NLS_LANG value for Oracle 7 client, so it's safe to remove it unless you happen to be using Oracle 7 client somewhere else. As always, be sure to backup your registry before making changes.
Now, you should be able to import cx_Oracle in your Python program. See the oracle_test.py source below. Note that I had to set the connection and SQL strings to Unicode for my version of cx_Oracle.
Source: oracle_python.bat
#echo off
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\your\path\to\instantclient_11_2
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%;%PATH%
Source: oracle_test.py
import cx_Oracle
conn_str = u'user/password#host:port/service'
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(conn_str)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute(u'select your_col_1, your_col_2 from your_table')
for row in c:
print row[0], "-", row[1]
conn.close()
Possible Issues:
"ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified" - I ran into this before I made the NLS_LANG registry change.
"TypeError: argument 1 must be unicode, not str" - if you need to set the connection string to Unicode.
"TypeError: expecting None or a string" - if you need to set the SQL string to Unicode.
"ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found." - may indicate that cx_Oracle can't find the appropriate Oracle client DLL.
You can use any of the following way based on Service Name or SID whatever you have.
With SID:
import cx_Oracle
dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn('server', 'port', 'sid')
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(user='username', password='password', dsn=dsn_tns)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute('select count(*) from TABLE_NAME')
for row in c:
print(row)
conn.close()
OR
With Service Name:
import cx_Oracle
dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn('server', 'port', service_name='service_name')
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(user='username', password='password', dsn=dsn_tns)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute('select count(*) from TABLE_NAME')
for row in c:
print(row)
conn.close()
Here is how my code looks like. It also shows an example of how to use query parameters using a dictionary. It works on using Python 3.6:
import cx_Oracle
CONN_INFO = {
'host': 'xxx.xx.xxx.x',
'port': 12345,
'user': 'SOME_SCHEMA',
'psw': 'SECRETE',
'service': 'service.server.com'
}
CONN_STR = '{user}/{psw}#{host}:{port}/{service}'.format(**CONN_INFO)
QUERY = '''
SELECT
*
FROM
USER
WHERE
NAME = :name
'''
class DB:
def __init__(self):
self.conn = cx_Oracle.connect(CONN_STR)
def query(self, query, params=None):
cursor = self.conn.cursor()
result = cursor.execute(query, params).fetchall()
cursor.close()
return result
db = DB()
result = db.query(QUERY, {'name': 'happy'})
import cx_Oracle
dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn('host', 'port', service_name='give service name')
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(user='username', password='password', dsn=dsn_tns)
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute('select count(*) from schema.table_name')
for row in c:
print row
conn.close()
Note :
In (dsn_tns) if needed, place an 'r' before any parameter in order to address any special character such as '\'.
In (conn) if needed, place an 'r' before any parameter in order to address any special character such as '\'. For example, if your user name contains '\', you'll need to place 'r' before the user name: user=r'User Name' or password=r'password'
use triple quotes if you want to spread your query across multiple lines.
Note if you are using pandas you can access it in following way:
import pandas as pd
import cx_Oracle
conn= cx_Oracle.connect('username/pwd#host:port/service_name')
try:
query = '''
SELECT * from dual
'''
df = pd.read_sql(con = conn, sql = query)
finally:
conn.close()
df.head()
In addition to the Oracle instant client, you may also need to install the Oracle ODAC components and put the path to them into your system path. cx_Oracle seems to need access to the oci.dll file that is installed with them.
Also check that you get the correct version (32bit or 64bit) of them that matches your: python, cx_Oracle, and instant client versions.
In addition to cx_Oracle, you need to have the Oracle client library installed and the paths set correctly in order for cx_Oracle to find it - try opening the cx_Oracle DLL in "Dependency Walker" (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to see what the missing DLL is.
Ensure these two and it should work:-
Python, Oracle instantclient and cx_Oracle are 32 bit.
Set the environment variables.
Fixes this issue on windows like a charm.
If you are using virtualenv, it is not as trivial to get the driver using the installer. What you can do then: install it as described by Devon. Then copy over cx_Oracle.pyd and the cx_Oracle-XXX.egg-info folder from Python\Lib\site-packages
into the Lib\site-packages from your virtual env. Of course, also here, architecture and version are important.

If you're accessing the Oracle database via a bastion tunnel, you just need to modify this piece of code:
def server_connection():
server = SSHTunnelForwarder(
remote_ip_address, # public IP of bastion server
ssh_username=remote_os_username,
ssh_password=ssh_private_key,
remote_bind_address=('localhost', 1521),
local_bind_address=('0.0.0.0', 3333) # Suppose local bind is '3333'
)
return server
