cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that allows access to Oracle, and conforms to the Python database API specifications. cx_Oracle module is currently built against Oracle 8.1.7, Oracle 9.2, and Oracle 10.2.

This API has been defined to encourage similarity between the Python modules that are used to access databases. By doing this, we hope to achieve a consistency leading to more easily understood modules, code that is generally more portable across databases, and a broader reach of database connectivity from Python.

The interface specification consists of several sections:

Module Interface
Connection Objects
Cursor Objects
DBI Helper Objects
Type Objects and Constructors
Implementation Hints
Major Changes from 1.0 to 2.0

What's New in This Release:
This release fixes a critical bug which occurred when attempting to bind decimal objects with absolute values less than 0.1.
It adds a number of small features requested by users.
