 # Python cx_Oracle
 
-# News
+**cx_Oracle was obsoleted by
+[python-oracledb](https://oracle.github.io/python-oracledb/) in 2022.**
 
-**cx_Oracle has a major new release under a new name and homepage
-[python-oracledb](https://oracle.github.io/python-oracledb/).**
+Python-oracledb uses the same Python DB API as cx_Oracle, and has many new
+features.
 
-**The source code has moved to
-[github.com/oracle/python-oracledb](https://github.com/oracle/python-oracledb).**
+Install with:
 
-New projects should install python-oracledb instead of cx_Oracle.  Critical
-patches and binary packages for new Python releases may continue to be made in
-the cx_Oracle namespace for a limited time, subject to demand.
+```
+python -m pip install oracledb
+```
 
-# About
+Usage is like:
 
-cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that enables access to Oracle
-Database.  It conforms to the [Python database API 2.0
-specification][1] with a considerable number of additions and a couple
-of exclusions.  See the
-[homepage](https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle/index.html) for a
-feature list.
+```
+import getpass
+import oracledb
 
-cx_Oracle 8.3 was tested with Python versions 3.6 through 3.10. You can
-use cx_Oracle with Oracle 11.2, 12c, 18c, 19c and 21c client libraries.
-Oracle's standard client-server version interoperability allows connection to
-both older and newer databases. For example Oracle 19c client libraries can
-connect to Oracle Database 11.2.   Older versions of cx_Oracle may work with
-older versions of Python.
+un = 'scott'
+cs = 'localhost/orclpdb1'
+pw = getpass.getpass(f'Enter password for {un}@{cs}: ')
 
-## Installation
+with oracledb.connect(user=un, password=pw, dsn=cs) as connection:
+    with connection.cursor() as cursor:
+        sql = 'select systimestamp from dual'
+        for r in cursor.execute(sql):
+            print(r)
+```
