any cx_Oracle -skip it

[Stefan Eischet]

Hi Mike,

you can also just use keyword args like

curs.execute("""\
SELECT *
FROM   table
WHERE  table.field1 = :keyword1
AND    table.field2 = :keyword2
""", keyword1="value1", keyword2=17)

instead of passing a dict.

I'm curious: why do you set the arraysize and then do a .fetchall? As I 
understand it, fetchall does not look at arraysize, only fetchmany 
does, in case you don't supply a size in the fetchmany call (i.e. 
curs.fetchmany(15)); did I miss something?

Cheers,
   Stefan
