Oracle notes

Django supports Oracle Database Server versions 11.1 and higher. Version 4.3.1 or higher of the cx_Oracle (http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net/) Python driver is required, although we recommend version 5.1.3 or later as these versions support Python 3.

cx_Oracle 5.0.1 or greater can optionally be compiled with the WITH_UNICODE environment variable. This is recommended but not required.
