cx_Oracle: how do I get the ORA-xxxxx error number?
Question
In a try/except block, how do I extract the Oracle error number?
Solution
try:
cursor.execute("select 1 / 0 from dual")
except cx_Oracle.DatabaseError, e:
error, = e
print "Code:", error.code
print "Message:", error.message
This results in the following output:
Code: 1476
Message: ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
