The examples are detailed enough to provide a solid understanding of the topics they're meant to reinforce, while being explained in thorough detail to ensure comprehension of key concepts. There is little doubt that the book will quickly pay for itself, as the reader stands to add valuable skills to their technical arsenal through the material covered throughout in each of the chapters. Topics covered in the book: Installation of Python/Required Software Modules; Python Introduction; Oracle Introduction; Using SQL with Python to Interact with Oracle; Performing DBA Tasks with the Oracle Database Using Python; Using PL/SQL with Python; Using an Object-Relational Mapper to Connect Python and Oracle.
