New utility Python scripts for DBAs

I pushed out three new Python scripts that might be helpful to Oracle DBAs. They are in my miscpython repository.

Might be helpful to some people.

    Hi Bobby,

    How can I connect to the multiple oracle databases using python ?

    I am able to connect successfully for a single database with no issue !!!
    import cx_Oracle

    con = cx_Oracle.connect(‘pythonhol/welcome@localhost/orcl’)

    cur = con.cursor()
    cur.execute(‘select * from departments order by department_id’)
    for result in cur:
    print result

    cur.close()
    con.close()

    Thanks,

      Thank you for your comment. You can have two connection variables and two cursor variables, one for each database. Here is an example:
