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. About folium Folium makes it easy to visualize data that’s been manipulated in Python on an interactive leaflet map. It … Read more
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 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
I’m not a Database Administrator, but I feel as though I may be slowly evolving into one… In a previous post, I left myself the task of correcting the html on a proposed Python/Flask/ORDS/Autonomous Database application. My then next step was to add a search bar (which I did): Although this was a small step … Read more
Update For the past week and a half I’ve been immersed in learning how python and flask interact with each other so a developer can create a quick/crude web application. I’ve also spent time becoming more familiar with virtual environments (as they pertain to python + flask), jinja, and WTForms (I’m sure I’m forgetting other … Read more
