I feel so silly for posting this because you’ll quickly realize that I will have to leave things unfinished for now. But I was so excited that I got something to work, that I had to share! If you’ve been following along, you know you can always find me here. But I do try my best … Read more
Recently Jeff and I were invited by the Oracle Developers and Developer Relations teams to do a walkthrough of a LiveLabs workshop, “How to Build Powerful and Secure REST APIs for Your Oracle Autonomous Database.” We spent about 90 minutes moving through selected labs in the workshop. Luckily they recorded it for us; you can … Read more
The simple POST request It was bugging me that I couldn’t perform a simple Python POST request to an ORDS REST-enabled table. I don’t mean to convey that this isn’t possible. Up until very recently, I wasn’t able to do this. Luckily I had a few hours free, so I took to the docs to … Read more
Python, Flask, and ORDS Restaurants Web Application update If you’ve been following along, then you are probably aware of the python/flask/ORDS journey that I’ve embarked on. If not, you can read up on the overview here. The idea was to take local restaurant health inspection scores (aka Sanitary grades) and present the data to a … Read more
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.

Hey, at least now I know I won’t be restricted to what I can filter based on the python functions I do or don’t know. I can’t be the only one….right?
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 allows you to … Read more
I want to load data via Database Actions in my Oracle Autonomous Database, 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…
I needed an approach that would make me question my life decisions. Something that would force me to rethink what it meant to be human.
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 that I’d 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), I’m realizing that I … Read more
