Re: [cx-oracle-users] New features?

[Chris G. <chr...@to...>]

Hi Anthony -
I'm not an expert Python programmer, but I do find Python and the cx_Oracle
driver extremely useful in my job as a PL/SQL programmer.

One thing which would be extremely useful is if the columns returned by a
query could be referenced by their column names rather than their offset
number.  Is that something that could be done easily?

I also use PHP a bit and I know there it's possible to choose either to
reference the returned columns by name or offset, and it makes the code
much easier to follow when you're using column names.

Thanks
Chris.
