cx_Oracle_async

A very simple asynchronous wrapper that allows you to get access to the Oracle database in asyncio programs.

Easy to use , buy may not the best practice for efficiency concern.

Requirements

• cx_Oracle >= 8.1.0 (Take into consideration that author of cx_Oracle said he's trying to implement asyncio support , APIs maybe change in future version. Switch to 8.1.0 if there's something wrong makes it not gonna work.)
• ThreadPoolExecutorPlus >= 0.2.0

Install

pip install cx_Oracle_async

Feature

• Nearly all the same as aiomysql in asynchronous operational approach , with limited cx_Oracle feature support.
• No automaticly date format transition built-in.
• AQ feature added , check docs here for further information.
• You can modify some of the connection properties simply like you're using cx_Oracle.
• You can do basic insert / select / delete etc.
• If you're connecting to database which is on a different machine from python process , you need to install oracle client module in order to use this library. Check cx-Oracle's installation guide for further information.

Examples

Before running examples , make sure you've already installed a Oracle Client on your machine.

# basic_usages.py
import asyncio
import cx_Oracle_async

async def main():
    oracle_pool = await cx_Oracle_async.create_pool(
        host='localhost', 
        port='1521',
        user='user', 
        password='password',
        service_name='orcl', 
        min = 2,
        max = 4,
    )

    async with oracle_pool.acquire() as connection:
        async with connection.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM V$SESSION")
            print(await cursor.fetchall())

    await oracle_pool.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())
