+
+Description
+-----------
+
+cx_Oracle was the original driver for Oracle Database. It was superseded by
+python-oracledb which should be used instead.
+
+DSN vs. Hostname connections
+-----------------------------
+
+cx_Oracle provides several methods of indicating the target database.  The
+dialect translates from a series of different URL forms.
+
+Hostname Connections with Easy Connect Syntax
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Given a hostname, port and service name of the target database, for example
+from Oracle Database's Easy Connect syntax then connect in SQLAlchemy using the
+``service_name`` query string parameter::
+
+    engine = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://scott:tiger@hostname:port?service_name=myservice&encoding=UTF-8&nencoding=UTF-8"
+    )
+
+Note that the default driver value for encoding and nencoding was changed to
+“UTF-8” in cx_Oracle 8.0 so these parameters can be omitted when using that
+version, or later.
+
+To use a full Easy Connect string, pass it as the ``dsn`` key value in a
+:paramref:`_sa.create_engine.connect_args` dictionary::
+
+    import cx_Oracle
+
+    e = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://@",
+        connect_args={
+            "user": "scott",
+            "password": "tiger",
+            "dsn": "hostname:port/myservice?transport_connect_timeout=30&expire_time=60",
+        },
+    )
+
+Connections with tnsnames.ora or to Oracle Autonomous Database
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Alternatively, if no port, database name, or service name is provided, the
+dialect will use an Oracle Database DSN "connection string".  This takes the
+"hostname" portion of the URL as the data source name.  For example, if the
+``tnsnames.ora`` file contains a TNS Alias of ``myalias`` as below:
+
+.. sourcecode:: text
+
+    myalias =
+      (DESCRIPTION =
+        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mymachine.example.com)(PORT = 1521))
+        (CONNECT_DATA =
+          (SERVER = DEDICATED)
+          (SERVICE_NAME = orclpdb1)
+        )
+      )
+
+The cx_Oracle dialect connects to this database service when ``myalias`` is the
+hostname portion of the URL, without specifying a port, database name or
+``service_name``::
+
+    engine = create_engine("oracle+cx_oracle://scott:tiger@myalias")
+
+Users of Oracle Autonomous Database should use this syntax. If the database is
+configured for mutural TLS ("mTLS"), then you must also configure the cloud
+wallet as shown in cx_Oracle documentation `Connecting to Autononmous Databases
+<https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/connection_handling.html#autonomousdb>`_.
+
+SID Connections
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To use Oracle Database's obsolete System Identifier connection syntax, the SID
+can be passed in a "database name" portion of the URL::
+
+    engine = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://scott:tiger@hostname:port/dbname"
+    )
+
+Above, the DSN passed to cx_Oracle is created by ``cx_Oracle.makedsn()`` as
+follows::
+
+    >>> import cx_Oracle
+    >>> cx_Oracle.makedsn("hostname", 1521, sid="dbname")
+    '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostname)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dbname)))'
+
+Note that although the SQLAlchemy syntax ``hostname:port/dbname`` looks like
+Oracle's Easy Connect syntax it is different. It uses a SID in place of the
+service name required by Easy Connect.  The Easy Connect syntax does not
+support SIDs.
+
+Passing cx_Oracle connect arguments
+-----------------------------------
+
+Additional connection arguments can usually be passed via the URL query string;
+particular symbols like ``SYSDBA`` are intercepted and converted to the correct
+symbol::
+
+    e = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://user:pass@dsn?encoding=UTF-8&nencoding=UTF-8&mode=SYSDBA&events=true"
+    )
+
+.. versionchanged:: 1.3 the cx_Oracle dialect now accepts all argument names
+   within the URL string itself, to be passed to the cx_Oracle DBAPI.   As
+   was the case earlier but not correctly documented, the
+   :paramref:`_sa.create_engine.connect_args` parameter also accepts all
+   cx_Oracle DBAPI connect arguments.
+
+To pass arguments directly to ``.connect()`` without using the query
+string, use the :paramref:`_sa.create_engine.connect_args` dictionary.
+Any cx_Oracle parameter value and/or constant may be passed, such as::
+
+    import cx_Oracle
+
+    e = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://user:pass@dsn",
+        connect_args={
+            "encoding": "UTF-8",
+            "nencoding": "UTF-8",
+            "mode": cx_Oracle.SYSDBA,
+            "events": True,
+        },
+    )
+
+Note that the default driver value for ``encoding`` and ``nencoding`` was
+changed to "UTF-8" in cx_Oracle 8.0 so these parameters can be omitted when
+using that version, or later.
+
+Options consumed by the SQLAlchemy cx_Oracle dialect outside of the driver
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+There are also options that are consumed by the SQLAlchemy cx_oracle dialect
+itself.  These options are always passed directly to :func:`_sa.create_engine`
+, such as::
+
+    e = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://user:pass@dsn", coerce_to_decimal=False
+    )
+
+The parameters accepted by the cx_oracle dialect are as follows:
+
+* ``arraysize`` - set the cx_oracle.arraysize value on cursors; defaults
+  to ``None``, indicating that the driver default should be used (typically
+  the value is 100).  This setting controls how many rows are buffered when
+  fetching rows, and can have a significant effect on performance when
+  modified.
+
+  .. versionchanged:: 2.0.26 - changed the default value from 50 to None,
+    to use the default value of the driver itself.
+
+* ``auto_convert_lobs`` - defaults to True; See :ref:`cx_oracle_lob`.
+
+* ``coerce_to_decimal`` - see :ref:`cx_oracle_numeric` for detail.
+
+* ``encoding_errors`` - see :ref:`cx_oracle_unicode_encoding_errors` for detail.
+
+.. _cx_oracle_sessionpool:
+
+Using cx_Oracle SessionPool
+---------------------------
+
+The cx_Oracle driver provides its own connection pool implementation that may
+be used in place of SQLAlchemy's pooling functionality. The driver pool
+supports Oracle Database features such dead connection detection, connection
+draining for planned database downtime, support for Oracle Application
+Continuity and Transparent Application Continuity, and gives support for
+Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP).
+
+Using the driver pool can be achieved by using the
+:paramref:`_sa.create_engine.creator` parameter to provide a function that
+returns a new connection, along with setting
+:paramref:`_sa.create_engine.pool_class` to ``NullPool`` to disable
+SQLAlchemy's pooling::
+
+    import cx_Oracle
+    from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+    from sqlalchemy.pool import NullPool
+
+    pool = cx_Oracle.SessionPool(
+        user="scott",
+        password="tiger",
+        dsn="orclpdb",
+        min=1,
+        max=4,
+        increment=1,
+        threaded=True,
+        encoding="UTF-8",
+        nencoding="UTF-8",
+    )
+
+    engine = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://", creator=pool.acquire, poolclass=NullPool
+    )
+
+The above engine may then be used normally where cx_Oracle's pool handles
+connection pooling::
+
+    with engine.connect() as conn:
+        print(conn.scalar("select 1 from dual"))
+
+As well as providing a scalable solution for multi-user applications, the
+cx_Oracle session pool supports some Oracle features such as DRCP and
+`Application Continuity
+<https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/ha.html#application-continuity-ac>`_.
+
+Note that the pool creation parameters ``threaded``, ``encoding`` and
+``nencoding`` were deprecated in later cx_Oracle releases.
+
+Using Oracle Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP)
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+When using Oracle Database's DRCP, the best practice is to pass a connection
+class and "purity" when acquiring a connection from the SessionPool.  Refer to
+the `cx_Oracle DRCP documentation
+<https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/connection_handling.html#database-resident-connection-pooling-drcp>`_.
+
+This can be achieved by wrapping ``pool.acquire()``::
+
+    import cx_Oracle
+    from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+    from sqlalchemy.pool import NullPool
+
+    pool = cx_Oracle.SessionPool(
+        user="scott",
+        password="tiger",
+        dsn="orclpdb",
+        min=2,
+        max=5,
+        increment=1,
+        threaded=True,
+        encoding="UTF-8",
+        nencoding="UTF-8",
+    )
+
+
+    def creator():
+        return pool.acquire(
+            cclass="MYCLASS", purity=cx_Oracle.ATTR_PURITY_SELF
+        )
+
+
+    engine = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://", creator=creator, poolclass=NullPool
+    )
+
+The above engine may then be used normally where cx_Oracle handles session
+pooling and Oracle Database additionally uses DRCP::
+
+    with engine.connect() as conn:
+        print(conn.scalar("select 1 from dual"))
+
+.. _cx_oracle_unicode:
+
+Unicode
+-------
+
+As is the case for all DBAPIs under Python 3, all strings are inherently
+Unicode strings. In all cases however, the driver requires an explicit
+encoding configuration.
+
+Ensuring the Correct Client Encoding
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The long accepted standard for establishing client encoding for nearly all
+Oracle Database related software is via the `NLS_LANG
+<https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/faq-nls-lang.html>`_ environment
+variable.  Older versions of cx_Oracle use this environment variable as the
+source of its encoding configuration.  The format of this variable is
+Territory_Country.CharacterSet; a typical value would be
+``AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8``.  cx_Oracle version 8 and later use the character
+set "UTF-8" by default, and ignore the character set component of NLS_LANG.
+
+The cx_Oracle driver also supported a programmatic alternative which is to pass
+the ``encoding`` and ``nencoding`` parameters directly to its ``.connect()``
+function.  These can be present in the URL as follows::
+
+    engine = create_engine(
+        "oracle+cx_oracle://scott:tiger@tnsalias?encoding=UTF-8&nencoding=UTF-8"
+    )
+
+For the meaning of the ``encoding`` and ``nencoding`` parameters, please
+consult
+`Characters Sets and National Language Support (NLS) <https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/globalization.html#globalization>`_.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+    `Characters Sets and National Language Support (NLS) <https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/globalization.html#globalization>`_
+    - in the cx_Oracle documentation.
+
+
+Unicode-specific Column datatypes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Core expression language handles unicode data by use of the
+:class:`.Unicode` and :class:`.UnicodeText` datatypes.  These types correspond
+to the VARCHAR2 and CLOB Oracle Database datatypes by default.  When using
+these datatypes with Unicode data, it is expected that the database is
+configured with a Unicode-aware character set, as well as that the ``NLS_LANG``
+environment variable is set appropriately (this applies to older versions of
+cx_Oracle), so that the VARCHAR2 and CLOB datatypes can accommodate the data.
+
+In the case that Oracle Database is not configured with a Unicode character
+set, the two options are to use the :class:`_types.NCHAR` and
+:class:`_oracle.NCLOB` datatypes explicitly, or to pass the flag
+``use_nchar_for_unicode=True`` to :func:`_sa.create_engine`, which will cause
+the SQLAlchemy dialect to use NCHAR/NCLOB for the :class:`.Unicode` /
+:class:`.UnicodeText` datatypes instead of VARCHAR/CLOB.
+
+.. versionchanged:: 1.3 The :class:`.Unicode` and :class:`.UnicodeText`
+   datatypes now correspond to the ``VARCHAR2`` and ``CLOB`` Oracle Database
+   datatypes unless the ``use_nchar_for_unicode=True`` is passed to the dialect
+   when :func:`_sa.create_engine` is called.
+
+
+.. _cx_oracle_unicode_encoding_errors:
+
+Encoding Errors
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For the unusual case that data in Oracle Database is present with a broken
+encoding, the dialect accepts a parameter ``encoding_errors`` which will be
+passed to Unicode decoding functions in order to affect how decoding errors are
+handled.  The value is ultimately consumed by the Python `decode
+<https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes.decode>`_ function, and
+is passed both via cx_Oracle's ``encodingErrors`` parameter consumed by
+``Cursor.var()``, as well as SQLAlchemy's own decoding function, as the
+cx_Oracle dialect makes use of both under different circumstances.
+
+.. versionadded:: 1.3.11
+
+
+.. _cx_oracle_setinputsizes:
+
+Fine grained control over cx_Oracle data binding performance with setinputsizes
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The cx_Oracle DBAPI has a deep and fundamental reliance upon the usage of the
+DBAPI ``setinputsizes()`` call.  The purpose of this call is to establish the
+datatypes that are bound to a SQL statement for Python values being passed as
+parameters.  While virtually no other DBAPI assigns any use to the
+``setinputsizes()`` call, the cx_Oracle DBAPI relies upon it heavily in its
+interactions with the Oracle Database client interface, and in some scenarios
+it is not possible for SQLAlchemy to know exactly how data should be bound, as
+some settings can cause profoundly different performance characteristics, while
+altering the type coercion behavior at the same time.
+
+Users of the cx_Oracle dialect are **strongly encouraged** to read through
+cx_Oracle's list of built-in datatype symbols at
+https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_manual/module.html#database-types.
+Note that in some cases, significant performance degradation can occur when
+using these types vs. not, in particular when specifying ``cx_Oracle.CLOB``.
+
+On the SQLAlchemy side, the :meth:`.DialectEvents.do_setinputsizes` event can
+be used both for runtime visibility (e.g. logging) of the setinputsizes step as
+well as to fully control how ``setinputsizes()`` is used on a per-statement
+basis.
+
+.. versionadded:: 1.2.9 Added :meth:`.DialectEvents.setinputsizes`
+
+
+Example 1 - logging all setinputsizes calls
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following example illustrates how to log the intermediary values from a
+SQLAlchemy perspective before they are converted to the raw ``setinputsizes()``
+parameter dictionary.  The keys of the dictionary are :class:`.BindParameter`
+objects which have a ``.key`` and a ``.type`` attribute::
+
+    from sqlalchemy import create_engine, event
+
+    engine = create_engine("oracle+cx_oracle://scott:tiger@host/xe")
+
+
+    @event.listens_for(engine, "do_setinputsizes")
+    def _log_setinputsizes(inputsizes, cursor, statement, parameters, context):
+        for bindparam, dbapitype in inputsizes.items():
+            log.info(
+                "Bound parameter name: %s  SQLAlchemy type: %r DBAPI object: %s",
+                bindparam.key,
+                bindparam.type,
+                dbapitype,
+            )
+
+Example 2 - remove all bindings to CLOB
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ``CLOB`` datatype in cx_Oracle incurs a significant performance overhead,
+however is set by default for the ``Text`` type within the SQLAlchemy 1.2
+series.   This setting can be modified as follows::
+
+    from sqlalchemy import create_engine, event
+    from cx_Oracle import CLOB
+
+    engine = create_engine("oracle+cx_oracle://scott:tiger@host/xe")
+
+
+    @event.listens_for(engine, "do_setinputsizes")
+    def _remove_clob(inputsizes, cursor, statement, parameters, context):
+        for bindparam, dbapitype in list(inputsizes.items()):
+            if dbapitype is CLOB:
+                del inputsizes[bindparam]
+
+.. _cx_oracle_lob:
+
+LOB Datatypes
+--------------
+
+LOB datatypes refer to the "large object" datatypes such as CLOB, NCLOB and
+BLOB. Modern versions of cx_Oracle is optimized for these datatypes to be
+delivered as a single buffer. As such, SQLAlchemy makes use of these newer type
+handlers by default.
+
+To disable the use of newer type handlers and deliver LOB objects as classic
+buffered objects with a ``read()`` method, the parameter
+``auto_convert_lobs=False`` may be passed to :func:`_sa.create_engine`,
+which takes place only engine-wide.
+
+.. _cx_oracle_returning:
+
+RETURNING Support
+-----------------
+
+The cx_Oracle dialect implements RETURNING using OUT parameters.
+The dialect supports RETURNING fully.
+
+Two Phase Transactions Not Supported
+------------------------------------
+
+Two phase transactions are **not supported** under cx_Oracle due to poor driver
+support. The newer :ref:`oracledb` dialect however **does** support two phase
+transactions.
+
+.. _cx_oracle_numeric:
+
+Precision Numerics
+------------------
+
+SQLAlchemy's numeric types can handle receiving and returning values as Python
+``Decimal`` objects or float objects.  When a :class:`.Numeric` object, or a
+subclass such as :class:`.Float`, :class:`_oracle.DOUBLE_PRECISION` etc. is in
+use, the :paramref:`.Numeric.asdecimal` flag determines if values should be
+coerced to ``Decimal`` upon return, or returned as float objects.  To make
+matters more complicated under Oracle Database, the ``NUMBER`` type can also
+represent integer values if the "scale" is zero, so the Oracle
+Database-specific :class:`_oracle.NUMBER` type takes this into account as well.
+
+The cx_Oracle dialect makes extensive use of connection- and cursor-level
+"outputtypehandler" callables in order to coerce numeric values as requested.
+These callables are specific to the specific flavor of :class:`.Numeric` in
+use, as well as if no SQLAlchemy typing objects are present.  There are
+observed scenarios where Oracle Database may send incomplete or ambiguous
+information about the numeric types being returned, such as a query where the
+numeric types are buried under multiple levels of subquery.  The type handlers
+do their best to make the right decision in all cases, deferring to the
+underlying cx_Oracle DBAPI for all those cases where the driver can make the
+best decision.
+
+When no typing objects are present, as when executing plain SQL strings, a
+default "outputtypehandler" is present which will generally return numeric
+values which specify precision and scale as Python ``Decimal`` objects.  To
+disable this coercion to decimal for performance reasons, pass the flag
+``coerce_to_decimal=False`` to :func:`_sa.create_engine`::
+
+    engine = create_engine("oracle+cx_oracle://dsn", coerce_to_decimal=False)
+
+The ``coerce_to_decimal`` flag only impacts the results of plain string
+SQL statements that are not otherwise associated with a :class:`.Numeric`
+SQLAlchemy type (or a subclass of such).
+
+.. versionchanged:: 1.2  The numeric handling system for cx_Oracle has been
+   reworked to take advantage of newer cx_Oracle features as well
+   as better integration of outputtypehandlers.
