Description: # python-oracledb
        
        python-oracledb is a [Python programming language][python] extension module
        allowing Python programs to connect to [Oracle Database][oracledb].  It is the
        renamed, new major release of the popular cx_Oracle driver.
        
        The module conforms to the [Python Database API 2.0 specification][pep249] with
        a considerable number of additions and a couple of minor exclusions, see the
        [feature list][features].
        
        ## Installation
        
        Run `python -m pip install oracledb`
        
        See [python-oracledb Installation][installation].
        
        ## Dependencies and Interoperability
        
        - Python versions 3.6 through 3.11.
        
          Prebuilt packages are available on Windows for Python 3.7 or later, on macOS
          for Python 3.7 or later, and on Linux for Python 3.6 or later.
        
          Source code is also available.
        
        - Oracle Client libraries are *optional*.
        
          **Thin mode**: By default python-oracledb runs in a 'Thin' mode which
          connects directly to Oracle Database.
        
          **Thick mode**: Some advanced Oracle Database functionality is currently only
          available when optional Oracle Client libraries are loaded by
          python-oracledb.  Libraries are available in the free [Oracle Instant
          Client][instantclient] packages. Python-oracledb can use Oracle Client
          libraries 11.2 through 21c.
        
        - Oracle Database
        
          **Thin mode**: Oracle Database 12.1 (or later) is required.
        
          **Thick mode**: Oracle Database 11.2 (or later) is required, depending on the
          Oracle Client library version.  Oracle Database's standard client-server
          version interoperability allows connection to both older and newer
          databases. For example when python-oracledb uses Oracle Client 19c libraries,
          then it can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 or later.
        
        ## Documentation
        
        See the [python-oracledb Documentation][documentation] and [Release
        Notes][relnotes].
        
        ## Samples
        
        Examples can be found in the [/samples][samples] directory and the
        [Python and Oracle Database Tutorial][tutorial].
