I programmed in Python 2 and 3 for many years, and I find it a fantastic
language.
Now I'm programming in Java by m ore than 2 years, and even if I found its
code much more boilerplate, I admit that JDBC is fantastic.
One example over all: Oracle. If you want to access an Oracle DB from
Python, you have to:
1. download the Oracle instantclient and install/unzip it
2. on Linux, you have also to install/unzip Development and Runtime package
3. on windows, you have to add the instantclient to PATH
4. on Linux, you have to create a script to source that sets PATH,
ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Finally, you can use cx_Oracle.
Java? You have only to download ojdbcN.jar and add it to Maven/Gradle.
