I have used Python to parse a txt file for specific information (dates, $ amounts, lbs, etc) and now I want to export that data to an Oracle table that I made in SQL Developer.
I have successfully connected Python to Oracle with the cx_Oracle module, but I am struggling to export or even print any data to my database from Python.
I am not proficient at using SQL, I know of simple queries and that's about it. I have explored the Oracle docs and haven't found straightforward export commands. When exporting data to an Oracle table via Python is it Python code I am going to be using or SQL code? Is it the same as importing a CSV file, for example?
I would like to understand how to write to an Oracle table from Python; I need to parse and export a very large amount of data so this won't be a one time export/import. I would also ideally like to have a way to preview my import to ensure it aligns correctly with my already created Oracle table, or if a simple undo action exists that would suffice.
If my problem is unclear I am more than happy to clarify it. Thanks for all help.
My code so far:
import cx_Oracle
dsnStr = cx_Oracle.makedsn("sole.wh.whoi.edu", "1526", "sole")
con = cx_Oracle.connect(user="myusername", password="mypassword", dsn=dsnStr)
print (con.version)
#imp 'Book1.csv' [this didn't work]
cursor = con.cursor()
print (cursor)
con.close()
