[cx-oracle-users] ping()

[<prz...@po...>]

Hello,

I have been using ping() function to test reachability of some database:

...
import cx_Oracle
import sys
from time import gmtime, strftime

con = cx_Oracle.connect('user/pass@database')
try:
    con.ping()
except cx_Oracle.DatabaseError:
    #print "*** Connection dropped ***"
    STATUS = "DOWN"
else:
    STATUS= "UP"

con.close()
print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", gmtime()), STATUS
...

But it doesn't work - I have checked Oracle logs and it says "UP" even
when database is down. What is wrong ?

Regards
Przemek
