Re: [cx-oracle-users] Clarification on cx_Oracle version to support 11gR2 XE (UNICODE)

[Anthony T. <ant...@gm...>]

Hi,

On some platforms UCS2 is used and on others UCS4. I am using the
RedHat/Fedora "standard" but you can still use whatever you have on
your own machine by simply building cx_Oracle yourself. It is fairly
straightforward to do.

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

If you have any further questions, please let me know. Thanks.

Anthony
