I'm running Oracle 11g on the same machine as the Python script.

I did test cx_Oracle and found that it wasn't working. I was using the Unicode cx_Oracle 5.0.3. Switching to the non-Unicode cx_Oracle got it working. But OGR is still not connecting.

Does OGR rely on cx_Oracle?

No it doesn't but I was a good to clue.


I think I'll try regressing to an older version of GDAL and see if it works.

I running GDAL/OGR/Python/OCI on OpenSUSE and it works just fine. I am going to 
test on Windows.

        Thanks for the replies. Sorry I didn't give more details on the
        environment.

        I am running on Windows, at the command line, both ogr2ogr and
        the python script.

        Created an environment variable for ORACLE_SID=ORCL

        I double-checked my OCI string by using sqlplus to connect:

            sqlplus scott/ti...@orcl

        This works fine. I changed the script to use that in the call to
        ogr.Open(). No luck.

        I imported gdal and sprinkled print 'Error:',
        gdal.GetLastErrorMsg() in my exception handlers. I got:

            Unable to open Oracle connection None
            Error:

        Still no dice. If I take the same script and modify the
        GetDriverByName and Open to use a shapefile, it works perfectly.

                This works:

                What am I doing wrong. This fails, ds is None:

            Hi Eric,

            Form your mail it not clear what is cause of the problem.

There 2 scenario here
            1) you are on a remote machine form where your trying to
            connect oracle server machine:

            a) Have you installed any Oracle Client in your system.
            Considering that you are using the complete oracle client
installation you can use the following : OCI:scott/tiger@<Tnsname entry for eg. ORCL>

            b) if you are trying out with Instant client for 11g you
            should try either of the following

            OCI:scott/tiger@//localhost/<your ORACLE SERVICE IDENTIFIER
            for eg ORCL>.

2) you are on the oracle server machine where you must set the oracle SID. like the following on windows SET ORACLE_SID=ORCL
            or
            on *nix
            export ORACLE_SID=ORCL

then try your implementation or use methods stated in 1)



            Rgds.

            Abhay.

    Hi Eric,

    What I still did not get is whether your running Oracle Server 11g
on the same machine on which your developing.
    Also have you tried connecting the same using "cx_Oracle.Connection"
    whether this connect string is working.

    Are you using gdal-1.6.1-py2.6-win32.egg install with Python or
    build your on using SWIG python implementation.

    Interestingly, what I found is that in gdal-1.6.1-py2.5-win32.egg
    which install using easy_install seem not work with OCI driver as
    way it should. But connection string using cx_Oracle is working. So
    it seem gdal-1.6.1-py*-win32.egg is broken for OCI plugin or
    probably it must be some setup I must have overlooked will setup, if
    someone else is working with same setup could help on this or Howard
could comment on this.
    I have build my own egg using latest repo of gdal build and is
    working. If you need I can share the same egg file (for python 2.6)
    or wait for Howard to compile for the latest build of GDAL-1.7 for
    python officially as you would need gdalwin32-17 for this along with
    OCI build plugin.

    Rgds.

    Abhay.
