# ShardingNumberKey.py
#   This script demonstrates how to use sharding keys with a sharded database.
# The sample schema provided does not include support for running this demo. A
# sharded database must first be created. Information on how to create a
# sharded database can be found in the documentation:
# https://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=dblatest&id=SHARD
#
# This script requires cx_Oracle 6.1 and higher but it is recommended to use
# cx_Oracle 7.3 and higher in order to avoid a set of known issues when using
# sharding capabilities.
