B.1. cx_Oracle driver installation on Debian and an example of Smarty to Oracle connection setup

  1. Install the package oracle-instantclient11.2-basic.

    When installing on Debian you need to convert the rpm package provided by Oracle into deb package using the utility alien:

    alien oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm
    dpkg -i oracle-instantclient11.2-basic_11.2.0.4.0-2_amd64.deb
    
  2. Install the package oracle-instantclient11.2-devel:

    alien oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm
    dpkg -i oracle-instantclient11.2-devel_11.2.0.4.0-2_amd64.deb
    
  3. Install the package oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus:

    alien oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm
    dpkg -i oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus_11.2.0.4.0-2_amd64.deb
    
  4. Install the python module cx_Oracle:

    pip install cx_Oracle
    
  5. Install libaio1:

    apt-get install libaio1 libaio-dev
    

B.1.1. Smarty to Oracle connection setup

This is needed to be written into the database connection settings section of the Smarty configuration file:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.oracle',
        'NAME': "smarty",
        'USER': "smarty", # Имя схемы/пользователя
        'PASSWORD': "password", # Пароль пользователя
        'HOST': "10.0.0.10", # Адрес сервера Oracle
        'PORT': '1521',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'threaded': True,
            'use_returning_into': False,
        },
        'CONN_MAX_AGE': 600,
    }
}

B.2. Настройка подключения Smarty к PostgreSQL

This is needed to be written into the database connection settings section of the Smarty configuration file:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'smarty',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
    }
}

Параметр Host является обязательным. Также для PostgreSQL появляется новая зависимость: psycopg2. Устанавливается через pip:

pip install psycopg2-binary
