Pull data as compressed file

[dinakarmu]

Hi, using Oracledb is there a way to fetch data from Oracle into a Parquet file or any other industry standard compressed file? if not, is such a feature in the plan?

Currently there is ongoing investigation into Apache Arrow support.

Thank you! Any alternatives available right now to read data into a compressed file format?

@dinakarmu see #375. @anthony-tuininga has pushed code to github that will help

See https://github.com/oracle/python-oracledb/blob/main/samples/dataframe_parquet_write.py

This needs python-oracledb 3.0 or greater.
