python-oracledb 2.4 has been released!
The top feature is support for pipelining database statements, see the blog post Pipelined database operations with python-oracledb 2.4. Pipelining lets the application send multiple statements to the database in one round-trip, allowing the app to continue local work while the database processes the queue of statements. Both the app and database can be kept busy. Performance and scalability can be improved.
For other changes, see the release notes.
Python-oracledb is an open source package for the Python Database API specification with many additions to support advanced Oracle Database features. By default, it is a ‘Thin’ driver that is immediately usable without needing any additional install e.g. no Instant Client is required. Python-oracledb is the new name for the cx_Oracle driver.
