Query Oracle database using Python

Fri Jul 12, 2013 8:16 am

I would like to connect to a (remote) oracle database (10g, 11g) using Python from a Raspberry PI.
Has anybody managed to this successfully?

It is not possible. Any Oracle client relies on Oracle closed-source libraries that aren't available for RPi ARM processor.
The only thing you can do is use some kind of middleware between your application running on RPi and Oracle. Or, if it's a viable option, choose Postgres or MySQL instead of Oracle.

Thanks cil8,

I thought such was the case, but wanted to make sure there wasn't something I had missed...
