Python with Oracle and SQLite

1 New Member
Hi,

I just started playing with Python and I am working on a program that pulls data from a table in Oracle and creates a similar table in SQLite. Basically, I want to be able to do this:
create table tab1 as
select *
from tab2

where tab1 is an SQLite table and tab2 is an Oracle table. Is this possible? I have 2 connection objects, but when I try to run this code Python replies that tab2 cannot be found. I am thinking it is trying to look for tab2 in SQLite, and of course it's not there - it needs to look for that table in the Oracle connection.
I tried pulling data from Oracle in one step, then looping over the results and inserting back into SQLite one by one, but that's not very efficient and it makes the code harder to follow.
If any of you know how to do this, I would greatly appreciate your responses.

Thanks!

It's almost impossible to write it in one step. We can imagine the Oracle stored procedure which will write data to SQLite tables, but it's only the kind of optimization.
All the variants have to move data from oracle_hard_dis k_files to sqlite_hard_dis k_files.
BTW, I wrote similar table-unspecific tool for moving tables from Paradox to DB2 databases. It can be easily adopted to (Oracle->SQLite) case. Contact me tormoz[@]gmx.net.

I am reading "Beginning Python from Novice to Professional" and the book is really awesome. Nonetheless on ch 13 "Database Support" I found this code to import data (in a txt file) into a SQLite Database: #this was corrected because original "import sqlite" does not work from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite #this function strips the txt file from special chars def convert(value): if value.startswith('~'):

Does Python 2.5.2's embedded SQLite support full text searching? Sqlite itself is not distributed with python. Only a python db api compliant wrapper is part of the python stdlib and as such it is completely independent of the sqlite build. In other words, if your sqlite build supports full text searching you can use it through the python sqlite wrapper (that is part of the stdlib) and if it doesn't then not. This is true for any sqlite...

The sqlite3 package that comes with python2.5 is actually pysqlite2, which interfaces with sqlite3. Also, sqlite3 and sqlite2 files format are not compatible.

Thanks Guilherme. That helped. I guess I was thinking that pysqlite would automatically come with some version of sqlite. The fact that it doesn't is what was causing me to get the strange results. I downloaded the Windows version of the SQLite3.dll. I didn't know where to put it so I first put it in its own directory and tried to register it. That didn't work so I just moved it to the pysqlite directory in site-packages. That did...

Hi all, On a (sun) webserver that I use, there is python 2.5.1 installed. I'd like to use sqlite3 with this, however sqlite3 is not installed on the webserver.

I know its a bit of a stretch ...

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.
