Getting “cx_Oracle.DatabaseError: DPI-1050: Oracle Client library must be at version 11.2 or higher” error

Question

I am trying to use pycharm(3.3) to access my Oracle SQL(11.2.0) using the below codes but getting error with below details.

Answer 1

I had an issue very similar to yours. I was able to solve it by using a different connection method:

my_dsn = cx_Oracle.makedsn("host",port,sid="sid")
connection = cx_Oracle.connect(user="user", password="password", dsn=my_dsn)
cursor = connection.cursor()

querystring = "SQL query"
cursor.execute(querystring)
