I am trying to read the contents/code of a stored procedure using python.
i used cx_Oracle function to establish the connection with oracle database.
here is the code
import cx_Oracle as co
import pandas as pd
dsn_tsn = co.makedsn(ip,port,SID)
db=co.connect(username,password,dsn_tsn)
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.callproc(procedure_name,['argument']) # will be me result of the procedure.
However, i am trying to read the code of procedure itself. Is there any function to do that ?
You can call DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL
function from your code in such a way
import cx_Oracle
db = cx_Oracle.connect("<uname>/<pwd>@<host>:<port>/<service_name>")
cursor = db.cursor()
def OutputTypeHandler(cursor, name, defaultType, size, precision, scale):
if defaultType == cx_Oracle.CLOB:
return cursor.var(cx_Oracle.LONG_STRING, arraysize = cursor.arraysize)
cursor.outputtypehandler = OutputTypeHandler
cursor.execute("SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('PROCEDURE', :PrcName) FROM DUAL",
PrcName="MY_LITTLE_PROC")
print("returned DDL is :",cursor.fetchall())
