Python Oracle Interace on Solaris

I am trying to use Python to do queries on a Oracle database using a
Solaris box. I have seen tools such as cx_Oracle which would be good
except that my Solaris box does not have an Oracle installation. Do I
need to have an Oracle installation on my Solaris box to access the
Oracle database (which is on another machine)? Are there ways to access
an Oracle database and do queries without having a local copy of Oracle
installed? Thanks.

There is, but only using Jython, Java and using Oracle's "thin"
pure-Java JDBC client library.

Hi, I've been down so many dead ends trying to get something working, so I'm really hoping someone can help out. I need to access an Oracle database running on a Windows server from Python running on Linux. I've tried building DCOracle2, but it seems that the 'oracle-installclient-basic' thing I downloaded from the Oracle site doesn't contain enough. I've tried various other approaches, such as mxODBC/iODBC, but without much luck. I'm...

Hi all, I need to access an Oracle database through a python script using ODBC drivers(currently i have eval copies of Easysoft and datadirect Oracle ODBC drivers). Desired platforms are solaris, linux. Is there any support in the python to do this or will i have to resort to a c/c++ program becuase python for UNIX doesn't support this. any pointers will be appriciated.

The major complaint I have about Python is that the packages which connect it to other software components all seem to have serious problems. As long as you don't need to talk to anything outside the Python world, you're fine. But once you do, things go downhill. MySQLdb has version and platform compatibility problems. So does M2Crypto. The built-in SSL support is weak. Even basic sockets don't quite work right; the socket module...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
