Where do I get it? https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle The easiest method to install/upgrade cx_Oracle is via pip as in python -m pip install cx_Oracle --upgrade What's new? This release has a number of small enhancements intended to build upon the release of 6.0 made a few months ago. Topping the list is support for accessing sharded databases, a new feature in Oracle Database 12.2. Support for creating connections using the SYSBACKUP, SYSDG, SYDKM and SYSRAC roles was also added, as was support for identifying the id of the transaction which spawned a subscription message. For those on Windows, improved error messages were created for when the wrong architecture Oracle Client is in the PATH environment variable. Improvements were also made to the debugging infrastructure and a number of bugs were squashed. The test suite has also been expanded.
