How to connect to Oracle Database with Wallet with Python.

Posted on 21-Mar-2025 By Admin No Comments on How to connect to Oracle Database with Wallet with Python.

To connect Python to Oracle Database using an Oracle Wallet, you can use the cx_Oracle or oracledb library with Oracle Client libraries (like Oracle Instant Client). Oracle Wallet simplifies secure connections by storing credentials and SSL certificates.


βœ… Steps to Connect Python to Oracle using Oracle Wallet


Step 1: Install Required Python Package

pip install oracledb
  • Prefer oracledb (official Oracle-supported replacement for cx_Oracle).
  • Compatible with Oracle Wallet and works in both thin and thick modes.

Step 2: Install Oracle Instant Client

  • Download from Oracle Instant Client Downloads
  • Extract it to a known location (e.g., C:\oracle\instantclient_19_11 or /opt/oracle/instantclient_19_11)
  • Add the path to your system environment:

Linux/macOS:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/instantclient:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Windows (Command Prompt):

set PATH=C:\oracle\instantclient_19_11;%PATH%

Step 3: Create or Use an Oracle Wallet

  • Oracle Wallet typically resides under:
    network/admin folder inside the Oracle Client path.
  • Your folder should contain:
    • sqlnet.ora
    • tnsnames.ora
    • cwallet.sso

Example sqlnet.ora:

WALLET_LOCATION = (SOURCE = (METHOD = FILE) (METHOD_DATA = (DIRECTORY = /path/to/wallet)))
SQLNET.WALLET_OVERRIDE = TRUE
SSL_SERVER_DN_MATCH = yes

Example tnsnames.ora:

MYDB_ALIAS =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCPS)(HOST = your_host)(PORT = 2484))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = your_service))
    (SECURITY = (SSL_SERVER_CERT_DN = "CN=your_cert"))
  )

Step 4: Python Code to Connect

import oracledb

# Optional: Switch to thick mode to use Oracle Wallet
oracledb.init_oracle_client(lib_dir="/path/to/instantclient")

# Use tns alias defined in tnsnames.ora
conn = oracledb.connect(dsn="MYDB_ALIAS")

# Use the connection
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM dual")
for row in cursor:
    print(row)

cursor.close()
conn.close()

βœ… If the wallet contains credentials, you don’t need to provide user and password.
