# BatchErrors.py
#
# Demonstrate the use of the Oracle Database 12.1 feature that allows
# cursor.executemany() to complete successfully, even if errors take
# place during the execution of one or more of the individual
# executions. The parameter "batcherrors" must be set to True in the
# call to cursor.executemany() after which cursor.getbatcherrors() can
# be called, which will return a list of error objects.
#
# This script requires cx_Oracle 5.2 and higher.
