Connecting to remote Oracle db via Python

[Anurag Chourasia]

Try this please and it should work.

Connection_String =
'scott/tiger@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.5.1.12)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=PR10)))'

db = cx_Oracle.connect(Connection_String)

I'm sorry i missed a bracket there.

Regards,
Anurag
