[gdal-dev] Oracle OCI connection in Python OGR

[Eric Wolf]

I'm using GDAL/OGR 1.6.1 with ActivePython 2.6.4-10 and cx_Oracle-5.0.3-11g.
I am trying to connect to an Oracle 11g instance.

This works:

    ogr2ogr -f "KML" emp.kml OCI:scott/tiger "EMP"

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

from osgeo import ogr

try:
    d = ogr.GetDriverByName('OCI')
except:
    print "Unable to GetDriverByName"
    quit()

ds = None

try:
    ds = ogr.Open('OCI:scott/tiger')
except:
    print "Unable to open OCI connection"
    quit()

if ds is None:
    print "Unable to open Oracle connection", ds
    quit()

lyr = ds.GetLayerByName('EMP')
number = lyr.GetFeatureCount()

print "Features: " + str(number)
