I wanna connect to Oracle 8i Database using Python2.7 or Python3.6 as I am not an Oracle guy so I need your help on this.

I am having following scenario:

  1. My Database server is located at remote location.
  2. I have to connect with that database through either version of Python2.7 or Python3.6.
  3. After connection I just wants to do as normal queries.

Things which I have already done is:

  1. cx_Oracle library 6.2 version installed.
  2. Oracle instant Client libraries installed and using these libraries I am able to connect from Oracle 9i to Oracle 12c.
  3. Now I just wants to make connection with Oracle 8i database.

thank you.

  • I guess `oracle 8` is not supported in `6.2` ... https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle/ – PKey Mar 22 '18 at 07:41
  • Oracle 8i is about twenty years old. It has been out of support for a decade. Obviously as a standalone database it remains functional but integration with something so old will always be a challenge. Anyway, Oracle's backwards compatibility has always been pretty good. So have you tried connecting to your 8i database with the 9i setup? – APC Mar 22 '18 at 07:58

Uh, Oracle 8 ... where did you manage to find that fossil?

Anyway: this page says that you should use "OJDBC and JayDeBeApi" which works with databases

supported by Oracle's JDBC drivers (currently 8.1.7 to 11.2.0.2.0)

There's some more info, so - have a look.
