I need to fetch huge data from Oracle (using cx_oracle) in python 2.6, and to produce some csv file.
The data size is about 400k record x 200 columns x 100 chars each.
Which is the best way to do that?
Now, using the following code...
ctemp = connection.cursor()
ctemp.execute(sql)
ctemp.arraysize = 256
for row in ctemp:
file.write(row[1])
...
... the script remain hours in the loop and nothing is writed to the file... (is there a way to print a message for every record extracted?)
Note: I don't have any issue with Oracle, and running the query in SqlDeveloper is super fast.
Thank you, gian

You should use cur.fetchmany() instead.
It will fetch chunk of rows defined by arraysise (256)
Python code:
def chunks(cur): # 256
global log, d
while True:
#log.info('Chunk size %s' % cur.arraysize, extra=d)
rows=cur.fetchmany()
if not rows: break;
yield rows
Then do your processing in a for loop;
for i, chunk in enumerate(chunks(cur)):
for row in chunk:
#Process you rows here
That is exactly how I do it in my TableHunter for Oracle.
