To connect to an Oracle database with Python, you can use the cx_Oracle module. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Install the cx_Oracle module by running the following command in your terminal: pip install cx_Oracle
2. Import the cx_Oracle module in your Python script: import cx_Oracle
3. Establish a connection to the Oracle database by providing the connection details (username, password, host, port, and database name) in the cx_Oracle.connect() function: conn = cx_Oracle.connect('username/password@host:port/database')
4. Create a cursor object to execute SQL queries on the database: cursor = conn.cursor()
5. Execute SQL queries using the cursor object: cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table_name") rows = cursor.fetchall() for row in rows: print(row)
6. Close the cursor and connection objects once you are done with your queries: cursor.close() conn.close()

That's it! You have successfully connected to an Oracle database with Python and executed SQL queries. Remember to handle exceptions and errors that may occur during the connection and query execution process.
