Gentoo中，使用Django 连接 Oracle

引用

Django supports Oracle Database Server versions 9i and higher. Oracle version 10g or later is required to use Django's regex and iregex query operators. You will also need the cx_Oracle driver, version 4.3.1 or newer.

gentoo portage中没有cx_Oracle,所有要自己创建cxoracle.ebuild
创建ebuild具体方法－A2

ebuild cxoracle-4.3.1.ebuild digest
echo "dev-python/cxoracle ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av cxoracle

../settings.py

DATABASE_ENGINE = 'oracle'                    
DATABASE_NAME = 'orcl' 
DATABASE_USER = 'username'                      
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'password'                  
DATABASE_HOST = 'hostname'                            
DATABASE_PORT = '1521'  

如有以下error出现,请安装最新版的cx_Oracle

$ python manage.py syncdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 11, in <module>
    execute_manager(settings)
  File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/core/management

    utility.execute()
