Installation of python cx_Oracle module

Recently I need to write a data migration script to migrate the data in a single Oracle to the MySQL Sharding cluster. It feels a little troublesome to install cx_Oracle under Linux. Let’s sort it out and do it. a summary.

For the Oracle client, you not only need to install the corresponding python module (here I used Oracle's official python module - cx_Oracle), but also need to install the Oracle Client. Generally, it is enough to choose Instant Client, and you also need to configure it. tnsnames.ora (of course it can also be accessed simply through host:port/schema).

Installation:

1. First determine the version. Because our Oracle data is a bit old, I chose an older version-Oracle Instant Client 10.2.0.4.

2. Download instantclient-basic. Download address: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html. . This is a serious BS against Oracle. You have to register before you can download it. Forget it. The key is that when registering, the password requires numbers and letters, and the letters must be in upper and lower case, and must be at least 8 characters. It forced me to get a password that is more secure than my bank password (well, now I have forgotten what I filled in...), and just download basic.

$wget http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/instantclient/10204/basic-10.2.0.4.0-linux-x86_64.zip

3. Installation and configuration

$unzip instantclient-basic-linux.x64-10.2.0.4.0.zip
$cd instantclient_10_2
$cp * /usr/lib  #直接放到动态库搜索路径中,不需要额外的环境配置

或
$unzip instantclient-basic-linux.x64-10.2.0.4.0.zip
$cp -rf instantclient_10_2 /opt/
$vi /etc/profile
   export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/instantclient_10_2
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME

$source /etc/profile

4. Configure tnsnames.ora (can No need to configure tns)

Note that tnsnames.ora does not actually exist, you have to create it yourself (this is also disgusting, I thought at first I needed to install something...), I did not use this method , if you are interested, you can google it.

5. Download and install the cx_Oracle python module

$wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/cx-oracle/5.1.2/cx_Oracle-5.1.2-10g-py26-1.x86_64.rpm
$rpm -ivh cx_Oracle-5.1.2-10g-py26-1.x86_64.rpm 
$ls /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cx_Oracle.so #有这个文件表示安装成功,根据python的位置,也可能在其他地方,自己找一下吧

6. Verification and problem solving

$python
>>import cx_Oracle

If an error is reported: import cx_Oracle gave ImportError: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

means that the dynamic library of the instant client was not found, check the environment Whether the variables are configured, whether they are effective, and whether the version is correct.

If an error is reported: ImportError: ./cx_Oracle.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_Decode

Google的信息:There is nothing wrong with Debian. Python supports two incompatible 
 modes of operation for Unicode, UCS2 (the default), and UCS4. Debian uses the default,
 Redhat uses UCS4. You need to recompile the extension for UCS-2 mode
 (i.e. using a Debian installation); this would fix the undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_Decode

So recompile python

$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python2.6.5 --enable-shared -enable-unicode=ucs4
$make;make install

Verified again and finally imported normally.

Usage:

1. Basic connection – using Oracle tns alias

connection =cx_Oracle.connect("tp/tp@ocn_test")
#查看tns alias命令
cmd>tnsping ocn_test
TNS Ping Utility forLinux: Version 9.2.0.8.0-Production on 27-SEP-201110:47:48
Copyright (c) 1997, 2006, Oracle Corporation. Allrights reserved.
Used parameter files:
/opt/……/sqlnet.ora
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS =(PROTOCOL =TCP)(HOST =10.20.36.19)(PORT =1520))) (CONNECT_DATA =(SID =ocntest)))
OK (10msec)

2. User enters password Connection

pwd =getpass.getpass()
connection =cx_Oracle.connect("tp",pwd,"ocn_test")

3. The user directly enters the connection account information in the Python command, in the format of python script.py tp/tp@ocn_test

connection =cx_Oracle.connect(sys.argv[1])

4. Use Easy Connect syntax to connect to the database through Drive

connection =cx_Oracle.connect('tp','tp','10.20.36.19:1521/ocntest')
#or
connection =cx_Oracle.connect('tp/tp@10.20.36.19:1521/ocntest')

5. First use DSN to form TNSNAME

tns_name =cx_Oracle.makedsn('10.20.36.19','1521',' ocntest ')
connection =cx_Oracle.connect('tp','tp',tns_name)

6. Log in as SYSDBA

connection =cx_Oracle.connect('tp/tp@ocn_test', mode=cx_Oracle.SYSDBA)
#or as SYSOPER
connection =cx_Oracle.connect('tp/tp@ocn_test', mode=cx_Oracle.SYSOPER)

When performing Oracle operations on the Linux server An error occurred:

TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

Solution:

For problem analysis, see http://ora-12514.ora-code.com/, After a lot of fiddling, I finally used the fifth connection method, which solved the problem instantly.

How to Use Python to Find the Zipf Distribution of a Text FileHow to Use Python to Find the Zipf Distribution of a Text FileMar 05, 2025 am 09:58 AM

This tutorial demonstrates how to use Python to process the statistical concept of Zipf's law and demonstrates the efficiency of Python's reading and sorting large text files when processing the law. You may be wondering what the term Zipf distribution means. To understand this term, we first need to define Zipf's law. Don't worry, I'll try to simplify the instructions. Zipf's Law Zipf's law simply means: in a large natural language corpus, the most frequently occurring words appear about twice as frequently as the second frequent words, three times as the third frequent words, four times as the fourth frequent words, and so on. Let's look at an example. If you look at the Brown corpus in American English, you will notice that the most frequent word is "th

Mathematical Modules in Python: StatisticsMathematical Modules in Python: StatisticsMar 09, 2025 am 11:40 AM

Python's statistics module provides powerful data statistical analysis capabilities to help us quickly understand the overall characteristics of data, such as biostatistics and business analysis. Instead of looking at data points one by one, just look at statistics such as mean or variance to discover trends and features in the original data that may be ignored, and compare large datasets more easily and effectively. This tutorial will explain how to calculate the mean and measure the degree of dispersion of the dataset. Unless otherwise stated, all functions in this module support the calculation of the mean() function instead of simply summing the average. Floating point numbers can also be used. import random import statistics from fracti

Serialization and Deserialization of Python Objects: Part 1Serialization and Deserialization of Python Objects: Part 1Mar 08, 2025 am 09:39 AM

Serialization and deserialization of Python objects are key aspects of any non-trivial program. If you save something to a Python file, you do object serialization and deserialization if you read the configuration file, or if you respond to an HTTP request. In a sense, serialization and deserialization are the most boring things in the world. Who cares about all these formats and protocols? You want to persist or stream some Python objects and retrieve them in full at a later time. This is a great way to see the world on a conceptual level. However, on a practical level, the serialization scheme, format or protocol you choose may determine the speed, security, freedom of maintenance status, and other aspects of the program

mPDF

mPDF

mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
