[cx-oracle-users] User defined types / objects

[Jani T. <jan...@ke...>]

Hi,

I was trying to read user defined type (actually MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY to 
be able to mess with spatial stuff) from database and I got only 
"unhandled datatype" exception.

Is user defined types or objects supported by cx_Oracle?

Is there plans to support them?

Not yet.

Yes. But nothing definite at the moment.

Well, not first one. AFAIK only Oracle's own JDBC drivers are only
drivers beside raw OCI that supports objects.

Hmm... Then if I have time I might take a look at them, since I really
need those spatial objects... :D
