Python has a the "Python Database API" (DB API 2.0)
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/

All SQL database modules that I know of use this API. It's more
decentralized than JDBC (not that I know much about JDBC), but it does
the trick: as long as the SQL syntax is sufficiently compatible, you can
easily swap in one database for another.

If Oracle wants to be a pain in the arse, that's Oracle's doing. The
open source databases aren't like that.
