Answer 1

I suggest you to first check the compatibility of your OS, Python and Oracle Instant Client architecture:

import platform
platform.architecture()

Then, I definitely advise you to set the Oracle Instant Client inside your jupyter notebook:

import os
os.environ["PATH"] = "Complete Location of Instant Client Folder" + ";" + os.environ["PATH"]
