Willkommen I stumbled upon a new [to me] python library called Folium. It's a mapping tool that enables python developers (or is it programmers, which is less offensive?) to visualize data on a Leaflet map. About folium Folium makes it easy to visualize data that’s been manipulated in Python on an interactive leaflet…

In a recent post, I discussed taking the JSON response from my REST-enabled database table (which looked like this): And sorting those cities after I performed a GET request (using some python code). However, after a recent discussion and a suggestion from thatjeffsmith, I think I should share another…

Welcome Back The title pretty much speaks for itself, and if you’ve been following along, you’d know that I’m working on a demo application that uses Flask (a web application microframework) connected to my Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB) via Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) APIs. One of Flask’s strengths is that it…

I want to load data via Database Actions in my Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB), but first I need to clean up some dates and times. Python is my language of choice, and I’ve heard about Regular Expressions, but I’m scared… Let us begin I log into Database Actions as my newly created “Python…

Problem I wanted to take the Objects, In my Admin schema and copy them into a newly created Python Developer database user/schema. I have been meaning to do this for a while now since I’d to approach all future development work as a typical [developer] user might. I previously created a…

Skip this and just take me to the Abridged Walk-Through — Update I’ve run into more problems with this python/flask/ords/adb app idea of mine. Turns out I’m too [developer] dumb to do some of the things I had originally envisioned. Now that I’ve become more familiar with python, flask, the Oracle Autonomous Database, and our Database Tools (like ORDS and Database Actions)…

Scroll down to “Navigating” if you want to skip this story portion. I’m not a Database Administrator, but I feel as though I may be slowly evolving into one… In a previous post, I left myself the task of correcting the html on a proposed Python/Flask/ORDS/Autonomous Database application. My then…

Project Overview: python — flask — ORDS — Update For the past week and a half I’ve been immersed in learning how python and flask interact with each other so a developer can create a quick/crude web application. I’ve also spent time becoming more familiar with virtual environments (as they pertain to python + flask), jinja, and WTForms (I’m…

An OCI user does not ≠ ADB user — Creating an additional user in your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is not the same thing as creating an additional user in your Autonomous Database (ADB). I spent about two days (on and off) last week, wrapping my head around this. Maybe you knew this…I did not. If however, you want…
